Thermal hardness coefficient of tablets.
The hardness of 10 commercial compressed tablets was measured at -25, 0, 24, and 50 degrees. The hardness is relatively insensitive to temperature change within normal storage and handling temperatures. Consequently, no temperature control is needed in measuring tablet hardness. Nonconventional (sustained-release) tablets behave differently.
