Plastics Paper/cardboard Medical/pharma Composites Metals/springsĪ compression testing machine is a universal testing machine (UTM) specially configured to determine a material’s strength and deformation behavior under compressive (pressing) load. We are happy to provide you with more information on our wide range of compression testing application examples by industry: The tools are selected and installed in the machine based on criteria such as test type, specimen material and dimensions, test temperature and maximum force values expected.Ĭompression test Compression testing machines Accessories for compression tests Videos Typical applications include compression tests on plastic tubes and plastic pipes, compression test on flexible cellular foam material, compression/crush tests on paper and cardboard, compression spring testing in the metals industry, compression tests in the medical/pharmaceutical field including compression testing of medical implants, stents, syringes or medical packaging, compression and notched compression tests on composites.Ī compression testing machine is a universal testing machine (UTM) equipped with application-specific compression test tools or compression platens. Compression tests examine the safety, durability, and integrity of materials and components.

Electronic limit trips, total travel trips and customer programmable safety stops.

SPRING COMPRESSION TESTER FULL
It is particularly suited to a factory floor environment in that it can produce a full test report without a PC. The system creates an ideal spring tester for either research or production testing. Continually updated statistics also appear on screen giving highest, lowest and average value for each calculation.
SPRING COMPRESSION TESTER FREE
The large full colour display shows a real time load deflection plot of each test and displays, test results including free length, load at various deflection, deflections at various loads, various spring rates etc. The system applies a fixed compression force to the spring and secondary load cells measure the lateral forces induced to produce vector diagrams for the spring in the carriage to ensure correct leveling characteristics. Each method will control the whole test automatically taking the spring to desired positions and producing the calculations and results required. These test methods are stored and recalled for use under a simple spring reference. They have internal capacity to store controlled test methods for several thousand spring types. The Testometric AT-S and CT- S models are a range of dedicated spring testers based on the AT and CT Universal testing machines.
