Abstract

A new method for determining the tensile strength of tablets is proposed utilizing two fulcrums and a knife edge. The fulcrum and knife edge pieces were affixed to the platens of a motorized tablet hardness tester. The new method was found to give rapid, reproducible results which agreed well with tensile strength values obtained from diametral compression. In contradistinction to diametral compression, tablets invariably failed in tension using the new method, as evidenced by uniform splitting into halves.
