OSTI ID:4405748
An apparatus is described for automatically determining the compression strength of spheroidal materials. The device consists of an electromagnet having a vertically moving slement and adjustment means to provide an air gap, a power winding for exciting the moving element magnetically coupled to a control winding which generates a pulse stopping the exciting current to the power winding when the spheroidal material breaks and means for amplifying and detecting the pulse generated by the control winding and correlating the value of the excitation current with the compression strength of the sample.
