Compression Stress Value

In this test the specimen is compressed over its entire surface area. Specimens have a square cross-section of 50 or 100 mm.

The test generally consists of 3 pre-loading cycles, followed by a measurement cycle in which the characteristic values are determined. Variants of this method are contained in in-house specifications of various companies.

Connecting a balance to the testing-machine PC allows the bulk density measurement process to be integrated into the test sequence.

Typical Products for this Application:
