ASTM D695 Compression Testing of Plastic
>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=idyGSqofbR4
Compression Platens are used for any type of crushing test. This video shows a plastic cylinder which experiences a compressive failure at around 32kN. The ASTM specification is a little different and does not test to failure, but tests the load at specific deflections of 1%, 5%, 10%, etc. For highly accurate tests, a special compression fixture and an LVDT pressure transducer can be used. Although this is not necessary. For more information on ASTM D695 fixtures, please visit: • http://www.universalgripco.com/astm-d695
