Compression Test: How is material strength assessed?

A Compression Test assesses material strength by subjecting a sample to controlled compressive forces using specialized equipment like a compression test machine. This process helps determine a material's resistance to deformation or its ability to withstand compression. The compression testing machine specification outlines key parameters like load capacity, test speed, and accuracy, ensuring precise measurements. During this quality test, the machine applies force to the material until it reaches its maximum load-bearing capacity. This critical information is valuable in industries like pape
