NEWTRY GY-3 Fruit Firmness Penetrometer Sclerometer Fruit Hardness Tester for Determining The Maturity Level of Fruit (GY-3)

The product work fine, the costumer service was great. The only thing that I will suggest is add to the product a pound meter. I am limited to the KG only. If I have pounds I could be more precise with my reports. Otherwise, the product work perfect.

I am a high school teacher and I do a simple fruit ripening lab activity with my AP students and wanted an objective, quantitative way to measure fruit firmness. After some research, I discovered this device and ordered one to try it out. Ive done this lab for a few years now and it works pretty great, actually; simple enough for students to use, easy to recalibrate when they inevitably mess it up. I know there's a digital version now but I prefer the analog one to give them more of a hands-on experience (and at a lower price point). Couple cons: the instructions that come with it are a bit awkward to read because of translation issues, so I wrote my own set of instructions to give the students. Also--I know adults will know this but it bears mentioning anyway--note to unscrew the probe tips to clean them and NEVER GET THE DIAL WET. I had students shove the whole thing under the sink once to clean it, so water got into the dial and fogged up the class and then the dial mechanisms rusted and wouldn't turn anymore. Fortunately my department has enough of a budget I could get a replacement but I was PISSSED.

Worked perfectly for me to measure firmness of apples throughout shelf life. Arrived quickly. No complaints so far.

The penetrometer worked as advertised. We are very happy with the product.

malissssiiiiimo

Verpackung gut, schnell geliefert,

L'abbiamo utilizzata per verificare la durezza dei frutti di stagione per esigenze lavorative.

Bom!

We already have a digital hardness tester but we’re interested in seeing how accurate an analogue one would be. The main use we have for these is tied to scientific research, we work in the refrigeration industry and one of the things we do is look at how the different fruit storage technology’s prolong a frites life span, so these types of equipment support our research immensely. The hardness tester it’s very simple to use and produces reliable accurate results (with a small margin of error but acceptable and within tolerance). The items all come in a handy sized storage box which is easy to pop in the lab cupboard. Great product and very useful.
