ASTM D695 Fig 4 Compression Strength Fixture for Plastics

Fixture for testing compressive strength and compressive modulus of plastic or composite specimens according to ASTM D695-Fig.4, Boeing BSS-7260. The fixture ensures that the specimen undergoes pure axial compression without bending, which could otherwise affect test results.The test is used to determine how well a material can withstand compressive forces before deformation or failure. Test specimens with a thickness of less than 3.2 mm and an effective length of 73 mm. Applications of this test include industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction, where composite and plastic materials are crucial. This test helps in material selection and quality control by ensuring materials meet strength requirements. Features and Specifications Tensile force: 100 kN Material: Steel, nickel-plated. Inserts hardened.  Temperature range: -70 … +280°C  Fixture weight: 1.9 kg Included Items (1) Carrier (1) Pair of inserts according to ASTM-D695-Fig. 4 Does not include compression plates.  Dimensions - mm
