abstract: The instrumentation of a tablet breaking-strength tester, for the automatic recording of hardness values, is described. A comparison is made between a computerized hardness tester and another identical model hardness tester from the same manufacturer ("standard"). Three lots of placebo tablets at different hardness values were compared. No significant difference was observed between the computerized unit compared with the "standard" unit.
