A tablet friability tester tests whether or not tablets break or chip off into smaller pieces or particles through applying pressure, contact, or rubbing. One common method of testing tablets is by continuously dropping them, over a set period of time, using a rotating wheel with a baffle. The pharmaceutical industry uses this type of tablet friability testing to ensure the durability of tablets during transport.
