Puncture test as an additional qualifying index of control on pineapple, mango and cassava.
ACI Avances en Ciencias e Ingenierías, 2012 Mango and pineapple fruits together with cassava roots were subjected to different post-harvesting processing in order to increase their shelf life. Mechanically driven instrument (Lloyd machine), hand operated penetrometer and sensory analyses were used

Design, Construction and Evaluation of a Digital Hand-Pushed Penetrometer
, 2017 A cone penetrometer is widely used in tillage and off-road mobility research as an indicator of soil strength and density characteristics. Light-weight, manually operated units are especially useful in recording cone index determination at remote field ...

Estimation of Effective Internal Friction Angle by Ball Penetration Test: Large-Deformation Analyses
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringThe ball penetrometer is a full-flow penetrometer used as an alternative to the traditional cone penetrometer for characterizing the strength of soft sediments, particularly for offshore engineering, due to its large projection area. However, if the ball
