TestResources Compression Test Systems perform compressive or compression tests on materials and products.

Compression strength tests measure mechanical compressive strength and materials properties such as yield strength, modulus, ultimate strength, possons ratio and per cent strain to failure. Specimens are fixtured in multiple ways including the use of compression platens, spherical seat platens, cages, and bend or flexural fixtures.

Test parameters to configure a test system include load, speed of loading, test method type, sample geometry, and maximum sample deflection. Test sample thicknesses and types affect equipment requirements.
