Our compression testing platens are perfect for determining the compressions characteristics of a range of material samples. The Seatallan range include self-aligning platens with universal joints to allow testing of samples with irregular shapes or non-uniform crushing patterns.
Our high spec jigs and fixtures ensure highly accurate results and repeat testing reliability in assessing the yield strength service life or other service-critical performance characteristics of a wide range of materials. By using Seatallan engineered testing platens and fixtures that are compatible with most OEM testing machines, you can ensure your materials testing meets ASTM and related certification standards.
