Warren Spring Laboratory cohesion tester

AJAX Equipment (Bolton) Ltd Warren Springs Laboratory cohesion tester It is appropriate to include in this chapter an instrument which was one of the first attempts to measure the cohesion of powders directly. It was initially developed at Warren Springs Laboratory, Stevenage, but is now commercially available from AJAX Equipment (Bolton) Ltd. 

Split cell testers Tensile strength measurements may also evaluate internal adhesion properties, independent of the mechanical interaction of shear plane, because T is measured at zero shear. Warren Springs Laboratories (WSL) designed two instruments one to measure the cohesive strength of powders at varied states of compaction and the other to measure tensile strength. The tensile strength measurement equipment, developed by WSL, was the WSL tensile tester, a diametrically divided split shallow circular cell.
