Compression Testing

Compression testing is another fundamental type of testing carried out using universal testing machines and can demonstrate how a material will react when subjected to a crushing, compressive load. Properties such as compressive strength, proportional limit, deformation and yield strength can all be determined in this way.

Our state-of-the-art compression testing machines are equipped with advanced technology to ensure precise measurement and data collection. The versatility of Testometric’s equipment allows for the testing of various materials, including metals, polymers, composites, and ceramics. The machines are designed to accommodate different sizes and shapes of test specimens, providing comprehensive solutions for diverse testing needs. With user-friendly interfaces and sophisticated software, Testometric’s compression testing machines simplify the testing process, allowing for detailed analysis and reporting.

In addition to determining material properties, compression testing can be carried out on finished parts or components to demonstrate how the finished product will cope with the forces applied during its intended use.
