Compression testing requires precise measurement of pressing force, which can be achieved with the help of compression attachments and jigs. These attachments enable us to conduct a range of tests, such as full sample pressing, one-point pressing, bending, and sticking tests. The compression test is often referred to as the push test.
To measure the force applied during compression testing, compression jigs and attachments can be connected to a force gauge, which can be operated by hand. However, when combined with a push-pull gauge or force gauge, along with a test stand, it can function as a desktop compression tester, providing even more accurate results.
