Q

means actual rotations. The actual rotations will be 0.001 and so forth. The drums will start rotating with fixed speed carrying the tablets to a fixed height along with the arc(in drums) and drop them to the bottom of the drum. Hence without any hard impact the tablets

Q

Also known as “crushing strength”. Hardness refers to the resistance of the tablet to chipping, abrasion or breakage under conditions of storage, transportation and handling before usage.

A

Tablet Hardness

35
Q

The test is done by application of a load to the edges of a tablet across a diameter. The load is gradually increased until the tablet fractures or break. The value of the load at this point (crushing force) gives a measure of the hardness of the tablet. _______ are used and the mean value is determined.
