In the manufacturing and other industry, compression testing machine is mostly used and is quite straightforward. Usually, it uses compressive force to load different types of concrete specimens to ensure the material combines the design and structural strength requirements. In this blog, we will discuss how to select the right compression testing machine! Step 1: Understand Frame Capacity and Stiffness Compressive strength of the concrete is most commonly measured by the engineer in designing buildings and other structures. That is why it is important to select a concrete compression machine that complies with some standards. It is important that it should adhere to the rigidity recommendation in the report on high strength concrete stating the load frame with at least 20% greater than expected. Step 2: Know your sample types Basically, the size of the compression testingmachine directly influences the maximum strength of the concrete which machine is capable of
