Square and rectangular compression plates with load capacities up to 20 kN. These platens are etched with concentric rings for accurate specimen placement.
They are available in aluminum or steel. Aluminum for testing soft samples such as cardboard, plastics, rubber, foams, lightweight springs, bottles and cartons. Steel for testing rubber, plastics, heavy duty springs, building products, composites and ceramics.
Adapters are available to mount platens to almost any test stand.
Round and self-aligning compression plates are also available.
Aluminum Square and Rectangular Compression Plates
- Aluminum platens for testing soft samples such as cardboard, plastics, rubber, foams, lightweight springs, bottles and cartons.
- Aluminum platens weigh less than steel platens.
