III. Main Technical Specifications and Features

3.1 Instrument display: 7-inch HD touchscreen, interactive intelligent operation.

3.2 System permission management: multi-level, multi-user (username + password login).

3.3 "Intelligent" operation: simply press the start key and all parameters such as peak Bloom g, final Bloom g, average Bloom g, penetration depth, standard deviation and cumulative measurement count are displayed.

3.4 To adapt to different sample properties, the system provides preset measurement parameters for all schemes: trigger point, deformation amount, measurement speed, creep characteristic holding time, continuous cycle measurement count, etc.

3.6 Gel strength measurement accuracy verification and metrology: the instrument includes a metrology operation interface as standard; provides 5 continuous standard sample test schemes, automatically reading and displaying metrology data and directly judging pass or out-of-tolerance. Verification and metrology results are printed in real time.

3.7 The instrument has an automatic correction function for gel strength measurement accuracy deviation, with correction accuracy of 0.01 g.

3.8 Deformation displacement accuracy verification and metrology: the instrument includes a 1~10 mm displacement accuracy metrology operation interface as standard, automatically reading and displaying metrology data and directly judging pass or out-of-tolerance. Verification and metrology results are printed in real time.

3.9 The instrument is equipped with a high-quality damping coupling structure, with no vibration and no noise during measurement operation.

3.10 The instrument provides a probe quick-change interactive interface, with automatic zeroing after probe replacement.

3.22.2 Normal - single compression test: real-time load force, positive peak, peak deformation, negative peak, final load, duration.

3.22.3 Hold Time - compression holding test: peak load, peak deformation, final load, real-time countdown.

3.22.4 Cycle Count - multi-compression test: maximum peak, minimum peak, peak average, last peak, standard deviation, remaining cycles.

3.22.5 Gel strength measurement accuracy verification and metrology: the instrument automatically measures accuracy, automatically judges whether it is out of tolerance and can automatically correct any deviation.

3.22.6 Deformation displacement accuracy verification and metrology: can measure the 0~10 mm positional error at conventional measurement speed and the 0~10 mm positional error at high measurement speed, automatically judge whether it is out of tolerance and automatically store and print the metrology result.
