Compression Testing Machine

A compression testing machine is a universal testing machine (UTM) specially configured to determine a material's strength and deformation behavior under compressive (pressing) load. A typical compression tester consists of a load cell, crosshead(s), compression test tools, electronics, and a drive system.Compression machines are used to compress the powder or granules into uniform size and weight. The compression machine and tooling part are involved in the compression of tablets. So maintenance and lubrication of tooling is a very critical part of the pharmaceutical industry.The CTM is designed to apply a compressive load to the sample until it fails. The machine consists of a piston that moves up and down inside a cylinder, applying the load to the sample. The CTM machine is used in construction industries to test the quality of concrete.
