Hello all! I am not certain if this is the best place to be asking this but im conducting research on the effects of megacephaly on the bite force of native turtles in my area. I have made designs and ordered parts for a functional system to measure the bite force but did not fully think through the calibration process. If anyone has any experience here or any ideas on how I could generate known forces up to 300 psi (at least) on a 0.75 square inch sensor face it would be a great use for my research. Ideally it won't cost more than around $200. My current thoughts are to use a hydraulic press with a pressure gauge but these devices are far from ideal and made mostly for automotive applications.
