Fundamentals of Texture Testing Analysis
The primary goal for using instrumentation to measure texture is to capture an objective value to something that is typically evaluated very subjectively. Texture cannot be controlled unless it measured in a consistent and repeatable manner.

Applicators and dispensers
Applicators and dispensers are designed to provide uniform coverage of semi-solids, liquids and viscous matter such as creams and lotions. They are often integrated with the product's packaging so that the packaging also acts as a dispenser.

Coefficient of Friction COF Fixture (ISO 8295)
432-501
Designed to measure the coefficient of friction (COF) to ISO 8295 between two pieces of material. The COF test determines the kinetic and static resistance of one surface being dragged across another. This friction table can be precisely leveled.
