Test Fixtures for Compression Tests

In compression tests a specimen is compressed until it breaks, cracks or is crushed to a specified degree. To ensure optimum test progress the specimens and compression platens must be matched. Critical factors include size, shape, surface pressure, material and surface roughness of the platens.

• Our compression platens are available in many different versions and can be supplied to suit your special requirements.
• Our product range includes both complete compression test devices and individually combinable single elements, for optimum matching to different types of specimen, material and component.
• Optional centrical engravings simplify specimen positioning. 
• Compression platens can be mounted rigidly or, if required, via a spherical seating, allowing alignment to the specimen during the test.
