The Compression Device is engineered to deliver ultimate accuracy in the measurement of compressive strength for cement and mortar specimens. In any laboratory environment, ensuring correct alignment and consistent load distribution is crucial for obtaining dependable results. This device is built specifically to meet those demands with a durable frame, carefully engineered loading components, and an alignment system that guarantees flawless positioning.
At the heart of its design is a spring-loaded upper platen combined with a spherical seat. Together, these components ensure perfect load alignment—a necessity for accurate compressive-strength determination. Misalignment can result in faulty test results or premature specimen failure, but the Compression Device eliminates these concerns through intelligent mechanical engineering.
Constructed with a robust and rigid frame, the Compression Device withstands repeated high-load testing without deformation. The spring-loaded upper platen is specifically engineered to maintain constant contact with the specimen, reducing imperfections and enhancing test repeatability.
The integrated spherical seat automatically compensates for slight surface irregularities, ensuring that each test begins with the platen fully aligned and properly positioned. This intelligent design significantly reduces operator error and boosts test reliability—a major advantage in laboratories where precision is non-negotiable.
The device is placed directly and centrally on the lower platen of a hydraulic compression testing machine. This straightforward setup ensures quick installation while maintaining the highest standards of alignment, stability, and measurement accuracy.
One of the most commonly used models is specifically designed for testing 50 mm (2″) cement or mortar cubes in accordance with ASTM C109. This model features:
75 mm diameter compression platens
A total height of approximately 195 mm
High-strength construction optimized for frequent, repetitive testing cycles
This configuration is ideal for facilities performing constant ASTM-compliant tests for quality control, research, or materials development.
For laboratories requiring even greater rigidity, high-stiffness models featuring a three-column frame are available. Their design enhances structural stability during loading and provides tighter mechanical tolerances for high-precision testing. Key characteristics include:
A solid three-column support structure
Approximate total height of 225 mm
Engineered for increased stiffness under heavy loads
These versions are ideal for advanced laboratories prioritizing consistency, rigidity, and long-term durability.
Despite its powerful capabilities, the Compression Device maintains a compact form factor. Weighing only around 11 kg, it is easy to handle, reposition, and store. Its moderate size allows it to integrate smoothly with standard hydraulic compression testing machines without requiring special adapters or large workspaces.
This combination of compactness and strength makes the device an ideal tool for laboratories that perform daily, repeatable compressive-strength testing. Whether for quality assurance, academic research, product development, or comparative materials analysis, it provides the reliability needed to maintain consistent results across long-term testing programs.
The Compression Device is a reliable, precision-engineered, and high-value solution for any laboratory seeking consistent, accurate, and repeatable testing of cement and mortar specimens. From its spring-loaded upper platen to its spherical alignment seat and durable frame, every component is designed to optimize performance and eliminate uncertainty during compressive-strength testing.
Its variety of configurations—including ASTM C109-compliant models and enhanced high-stiffness versions—ensures that laboratories can select the perfect device for their testing requirements. With its compact size, long-term durability, and intelligently engineered alignment system, the Compression Device stands out as an exceptional, powerful, and trustworthy instrument for achieving dependable testing accuracy.
