Another of the tests that will help us to perform a successful quality control is the Compression test.
This test determines the resistance of a material under compressive stress or load and in Servosis, we have all the necessary material to perform an optimum compression test.
What does the compression test consist of?
During the test, a probeta cilíndrica del material que se quiere ensayar in special presses. Once there, the cylinder is pressurized according to a preset regime until it breaks, quedando registrados todos los datos necesarios en los indicadores de la prensa.
The test data provide results in the form of a stress-strain diagram. which, among other things, shows the following;
- The yield limit, the point at which the material enters the state of yield, causing irreversible deformation of the specimen.
- The ultimate strength limit or breaking point, which represents the maximum stress a material can withstand before breaking.
- The breaking point, which indicates the exact stress at which the material breaks.
What is its purpose?
The compression tests evaluate the safety, durability and integrity of materials and components. . This type of testing is used with concrete or cement e incluso para valorar el aguante de piezas acabadas.
SERIE MES
Compression testing machines
The main purpose of this model «SERIE MES» are tests on specimens of concrete, rocks, cements and construction materials between 150 and 800 t.
This type of machines are built under UNE -EN 12390-4 standards with Class 1 accuracy according to EN-7500-1.
With great robustness, high rigidity and easy location.
At Servosis, we have with all the necessary equipment to perform both compression and non-compression tests.
