Choose from a variety of compression test machines that meet your specifications and budget
Compression test machines are universal testing machines specially configured to evaluate static compressive strength characteristics of materials, products, and components. Our wide variety of compression test machines are designed to measure characteristics such as ultimate compression strength, yield strength, deflection and modulus.
Each compression tester is configured to your test requirements by our application engineers with the correct controller, grips, and accessories. Due to our modular machine design, your compression test machine can also be equipped to perform other applications such as tensile, cyclic, shear, flexure, bend, peel, tear by adding appropriate fixtures.
Choose a universal test machine if you need more flexibility or a compression only test machine if you will only be performing compression tests for the foreseeable future.
