Compression testing is a common test type used in mechanical testing of materials or finished products. The sample is placed between an upper and lower platen and subjected to a compressive load. The relationship between the pressure and deformation of the sample is tested, and indicators such as compressive strength, compression modulus, and deformation at the breaking point can be obtained. Disc-type compression fixtures must be precisely aligned and adjusted according to the specific application and requirements. Disc compression fixtures are available in various specifications and are versatile and can be used for all types of compression tests. These compression tools can be individually adjusted to the specific requirements of a specific application.

By application: The compression test fixture must be selected according to the application involved and according to the specific test standard. The most important information is the information related to the specimen size and the expected maximum test force.

By load: To facilitate the selection of the individual compression tools, the platens are divided into two types: "light" and "heavy".

"Light" platens are designed for compression tests with loads not exceeding 20 kN.

"Heavy" platens can be used for tests with loads up to 250 kN.

By shape: The two types of platens can be further distinguished by the tool's outer dimensions. Circular and rectangular platens are distinguished by their outer dimensions.

By Size: The different sizes of press plates are an important selection criterion for each press plate.
