Compression Testers

Compression testing is a mechanical procedure for determining how a test sample will react to a force being applied across one side of the test sample.

A box compression testing machine applies the compressive force to the container, while holding the container between two plates that distribute the load. Typically, one of the two plates is fixed, while the other is movable. As the dynamic force is applied to one side of the test container, the test system monitors and reports both the force and deflection throughout the duration test.

Lansmont 152-30 Compression Tester

The standard system has a platen size that is 60 in. (152 cm) square with a maximum opening of 84 in. (213 cm). Optional extended platens and larger openings are available to accommodate larger test items. Maximum force capability is 30,000 lbs. (133 kN).

The Model 152-30 can be installed on any reinforced concrete floor (ground level recommended). The low profile baseplate design makes it easier and safer to load and unload large test items.
