Compression platens, also referred to as compression plates, are meticulously crafted to ensure full coverage of the test sample during its deformation process, ensuring 100% surface contact throughout.
Our compression fixtures offer versatility with options including circular platens of various diameters and a large rectangular plate.
Additionally, compression testing can be conducted using our range of probes, suitable for samples smaller in size relative to the contact surface area of the accessory or when the crosshead stroke does not cause penetration.
