The principle of the cylindrical probe is that as the probe is forced into the sample, a shearing force action causes the sample to deform or rupture. This produces a curve showing load resulting from deformation.
Probes are available with a variety of imperial and metric cylinder diameters:

Applications
Cylindrical probes have traditionally been used as general purpose compression probes for a wide range of applications. They are commonly used for applying a deformation to a gel structure to determine gel strength and elasticity.
Cylinder probes are also useful for applying a shearing force to a gel to determine its breaking strength and elasticity. Many standards quote cylindrical probes for gel testing. The Bloom value is a recognised standard for quoting the strength of a gel structure, particularly gelatine.
