TMI 17-77 Top Load Compression Tester
The Top Load Compression Tester meets international standards and corporate testing methods for compression strength requirements for a variety of materials and products. A new enhanced microprocessor design with servo motor provides precision force and position control for repeatable instrument performance.
Description
The Model 17-77 Compression Tester was built to support your top-load strength testing to multiple international standards and corporate testing methods for a variety of materials and products. These standards include:
- ASTM D2659 (column crush properties of blown thermoplastic containers)
- ASTM D2412 (load deflection of pipe)
- DIN 55440-1:99 (packaging and compression testing)
With an enhanced microprocessor design with servo motor, the TMI top load compression tester provides precision force and position control for repeatable instrument performance.
The intuitive software design and the easy-to-use touch panel of our compression tester gives you full control over your package inspection operation. After each evaluation the test screen automatically provides result data and statistics, including:
- Number of tests
- Highest value
- Lowest value
- Average
- Standard deviation
- Variation coefficient
