Compression Testing Machine

A compression testing machine used to determine how a product or material reacts when it is compressed, squashed, crushed, or flattened by measuring fundamental parameters that determine the specimen behavior under a compressive load. Compression testing machine for compression testing can be undertaken as part of the design process, in the production environment or the quality control laboratory, and can be used to: ·          Asses the strength of components, for example, automotive and aeronautical control switches, compression springs, bellows, keypads, package seals, PET containers, PVC or ABS pipes, solenoids ·          Illustrate the compressive properties of materials e.g. foam, metal, PET and other plastic as well as rubber ·          Asses the performance of products, for example, the expression force of a syringe or the load-displacement characteristics of a tennis ball Types of Compression Testing Types of compression testing include: ·          Flexura

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 testing machine directly influences the maximum strength of the concrete which machine is capable of te
