Compression platens and plates

Compression platens and platesCompression platens (or compression plates) are designed to completely cover the text sample throughout its entire deformation, with 100% surface contact.

FTC compression fixtures are available in a choice of circular platens with various diameters, and a large rectangular plate.

Compression testing can also be achieved with any of the range of FTC probes where the sample is small enough in comparison to the area of contact surface of the accessory, or the stroke of the crosshead does not result in penetration.
