Introduction
The penetrometer PCE-PTR 200N is a practical handheld meter to check the degree of
ripeness of different types of fruit. This penetrometer is more accurate than most other models.
The penetrometer will provide some valuable information about the ideal harvest time. The
meter will also help monitoring the quality during storage, transport and sales. The penetrometer
is equipped with an internal load cell controlled by a microprocessor. This microprocessor
makes a quick and accurate readout possible. The meter has a mounting fixture for a test stand.
This reduces possible user error to a minimum and makes series of measurements possible.
