Alveograph Test Instrument

Chopin Technologies, a subsidiary of KPM Analytics, is a French manufacturer of instruments for evaluating the quality of cereal, flour, and other related products. One of its most popular products is the Alveolab capable of performing the renowned Alveograph test.

The Alveolab owes its origin to the Extensometer developed and designed by Mr. Marcel Chopin in 1920. It is now an internationally recognized instrument for analysing the visco-elastic properties of wheat flour by means of the Alveograph test. It can be used to evaluate a variety of parameters such as dough tenacity, extensibility, elasticity, and baking strength. The Alveograph test has been standardized by all major producers and evaluators for testing and classifying wheat.
