While the FT 327 is the most popular fruit tester model sold by QA Supplies, other models are also available for larger or smaller applications. These devices include:

• FT 02 Penetrometer: This device works well for small fruits like cherries, blueberries, strawberries and grapes. 
• FT 11 Penetrometer: Use this tester model for soft fruits like citrus, melons and plums to get an accurate measurement.
• FT 444 Penetrometer: This large penetrometer model works well for hard fruits because its dial includes higher hardness measurements.
