Compression Set Test Device – Adjustable

Compression Set Tester – Adjustable

Compression Set Tester – Adjustable is designed for testing finished products, as the plate distance can be adjusted to match the sample thickness and the required deformation.

Its precise construction makes it suitable for testing O-rings, small finished parts, and standard specimens.

Using the Instrument

Performing a test is straightforward:

• Secure the lower part of the device in a vise
• Insert and lock the dial gauge into the hole on the upper plate
• Turn the adjusting ring to set the distance between the test plates to zero
• Set the dial gauge to zero
• Measure the specimen thickness and calculate the required plate distance to achieve the desired deformation
• Adjust the plate distance with the adjustment ring (the dial gauge displays the actual distance between the plates)
• Lock the position of the surfaces with the locking ring nut
• Remove the dial gauge
• Remove the upper plate to insert the specimens, then close it again

Your device is now ready! Place it in the oven for the required time.
After oven aging, simply remove the top and measure the final thickness of the specimens.

Note: Additional tests on specimens with the same thickness do not require further adjustment.

Surface Roughness of the Plates The surface roughness of the device is documented in the instrument’s Calibration Report, ensuring full compliance with applicable standards. The identification code stamped on the plates guarantees traceability of all measurements performed.
