Measurement Principle
The technician should do two measurements at the opposite sides
of each fruit, e.g.,
at the sun-side and the shadow-side.
The point of measurement should be plain and without any fault
on the peel.
With this instrument, the user can see the yielding of the fruit under
a certain
and constant press power as well as
a defined measuring distance.
The indicated measured value is a quotient.
For this reason it is absolutely important that the user always note
the anvil employed for the firmness test.
The anvil does not penetrate the peel of the fruit.
