Tensile strengths and hardness of tablets.
The axial and radial tensile strengths were compared to the hardness of compressed tablets containing various concentrations of lubricants. Since radial tensile strength measurement considers the thickness of a tablet, and only tensile stress and axial tensile strength express the strength in the direction in which capping may occur, the tensile strengths characterize the strength of a tablet more completely than hardness.
