Food Technology Corporation’s heavy duty range of cylinder probes are made from stainless steel and can be used for higher force or corrosive applications where strength and robustness are critical.

These probes are able to penetrate into and crush much harder samples up to a force of 1000N.

They are also ideal for stress relaxation type investigations, as they can be lubricated with vegetable oil to minimise surface friction.

Our range of heavy duty cylinders include;

    * 0.5" (12.7mm) diameter - 432-299
    * 1" (25.4mm) diameter - 432-300
    * 1.5" (38.1mm) diameter - 432-301
    * 2" (20.8mm) diameter - 432-302
    * 2.5" (63.5mm) diameter - 432-303
