A Breif Intro to compression Testing machine and it’s Benefits
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 · Flexural or bend · Spring test
