At a glance: The Huanghai YPD-350N-TK is the YPD-350N tablet hardness tester with thickness measurement added, now in development at Huanghai Pharmaceutical Instruments (Shanghai, since 1978). Everything else matches the YPD-350N: hardness and diameter from a single test, automatic statistics, continuous testing, and built-in data integrity features designed to support a 21 CFR Part 11 workflow. IQ/OQ document templates are provided; on-site validation is performed by the end user. Contact us for the development timeline.

What the Huanghai YPD-350N-TK does for your lab
- Thickness in the same test. Hardness, diameter and thickness are captured in one test cycle, and tablet width is measured as a fourth parameter.
- The proven YPD-350N platform. The YPD-350N-TK is built on the YPD-350N, so the force range, touch screen and data features carry over.
- Wide force range, fine resolution. 10–350 N at 0.01 N resolution (±1.5% ±1 digit), read by a high-precision load cell.
- Continuous testing. Run a series of up to 1,000 tablets with an adjustable interval, as fast as 15 seconds per tablet. You load each tablet and the instrument runs the measurement cycle.
- Automatic statistics. Maximum, minimum and mean values are recorded and calculated for you, shown in N or kg (kgf).
- Built-in data integrity. Password login, three permission levels, audit trail, data backup, sample information management and USB export or printing keep every run traceable. The instrument is designed with features that support a 21 CFR Part 11 workflow.
- Chrome-plated mould-steel pressure heads. The drug-contact pressure heads are harder and more wear-resistant than 304 stainless steel, and the chrome plating resists corrosion.
- Viewing window and touch screen. Watch the test through the chamber window and operate from the touch screen. A DC 12 V universal power adapter suits power supplies worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do N, kp and kgf relate?
1 kp = 1 kgf = 9.807 N, so 100 N is about 10.2 kp.
Does USP specify a hardness test?
USP <1217> describes how tablet breaking force is measured; acceptance limits are set in each product specification. Ph. Eur. 2.9.8 covers the same test. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia has no hardness apparatus chapter.
Which YPD model should I choose?
YPD-200C measures 10–200 N. YPD-350N measures 10–350 N plus diameter 2–25 mm, with user management and audit trail; 500 N and 700 N versions are available. YPD-350N-TK, in development, adds thickness measurement.
What does the YPD-350N-TK add to the YPD-350N?
Thickness measurement in the same test. Everything else matches the YPD-350N.
Is the YPD-350N-TK available now?
It is in development. Contact us for the development timeline.
Does the YPD-350N-TK support data-integrity requirements?
It carries the YPD-350N data features: password login, three permission levels, audit trail, data backup and USB export. It is designed with features that support a 21 CFR Part 11 workflow.
