Lansmont 122-15 Compression Tester

Severe compressive forces occur when packaged-products are stacked during transit or storage. To evaluate the performance of packages, components, and materials under such loads, Lansmont offers a full line of Compression Testers. Lansmont Compression Testers comply with industry standard package testing specifications including ASTM, ISTA, ISO, and MIL-STD.

The Model 122-15 utilizes Lansmont’s TouchTest Compression 3 controller which provides the versatility to perform standard compression tests while also accommodating more complex user defined Load and Deflection Profiles that better simulate real world stacking conditions.

The standard system has a platen size that is 48 in. (122 cm) square with a maximum opening of 78 in. (198 cm). Optional extended platens and larger openings are available to accommodate larger test items. Maximum force capability is 15,000 lbs. (66.7 kN).

The Model 122-15 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.

Lansmont 122-15 Datasheet

Many variables affect the compression performance of your packaging. How many boxes will be in a unit load and how will we stack them? Will our packages be shipped on pallets? What happens if boxes overhang the pallet? How does the climate influence

the stacking performance? These are important questions to consider when designing your packaging. Lansmont Compression Test Systems allow you to evaluate how your packaging designs “stack up” to compressive loads and environmental conditions.
