Compressive Stress-Strain, Strength and Modulus
Test ID
M-210
Description
A universal testing machine (UTM) is used. After sample is loaded, crosshead is lowered and stopped just before contacting sample. Test is started with crosshead compressing at constant, preset velocity. Compressive strain is measured using a compressometer.
Options
A long compression specimen can be used upon request in conjunction with an antibuckling fixture.
Standards
- ASTM D695
- ISO 604
Data
Compressive Modulus, Compressive Strength at Yield, Engineering Compressive Stress-Strain Curves, Offset Yield Strain in Compression, Offset Yield Stress in Compression, Strain at Ultimate, True Compressive Stress-Strain Curves. This data appears in Matereality as Compressive Properties. [See Sample Data]
Replicates
Number of times this test is repeated: 5
Samples
6 prisms [details]
Application
Compression tests provide a standard method of obtaining data for research and development, quality control, acceptance or rejection under specifications, and special purposes.
