Introduction
A short span compression tester measures compressive strength of paper and fiber materials. It is widely used in packaging and material testing. The system ensures structural evaluation. It solves limitations of indirect strength testing. By providing standardized compression, it supports quality assurance.
Standards
ISO 7500-1:2018-Metallic materials-Calibration and verification of static uniaxial testing machines-Part 1: Tension/compression testing machines
Complies with the above standards, but is not limited to them.
Features
1. Rigid frame minimises deflection under load.
2. Single-column and dual-column models cover various loads.
3. Wide speed range suits different materials and standards.
4. Data export and report templates support quality records.
5. Precise load cell and displacement measurement give reliable data.
FAQ
What are the main applications of the Short Span Compression Tester?
The Short Span Compression Tester is used to determine tensile, compression, peel, bend or other mechanical properties of materials and products. It supports material selection, design verification and quality control across metals, plastics, textiles, rubber and packaging.
What standards does the Short Span Compression Tester comply with?
The tester is designed with reference to applicable ISO, ASTM and GB/T standards for mechanical testing and IEC 61010 electrical safety. Grips, speed and procedure must follow the relevant standard. Compliance documentation can be provided on request.
What does the warranty cover?
The complete unit carries a 12-month warranty from delivery, covering the main body, core components and controller against manufacturing defects. Consumables and wearing parts such as filters, seals and probes are not covered. Damage from misuse, improper power or unauthorised repair is excluded, and extended warranty can be quoted.
How easy is the Short Span Compression Tester to use?
Day-to-day use is simple, with clear prompts and pre-set functions reducing manual steps. New operators should review the manual and complete a short familiarisation. Our technical team offers remote support during the first runs.
How long does delivery usually take?
Standard models require 7-30 working days. In-stock units can ship within 3-7 working days. Custom configurations or large built-to-order systems may require additional time, and we confirm the exact schedule before order confirmation.
How often should the Short Span Compression Tester be calibrated?
Regular calibration keeps measurements within the stated accuracy; an annual check is typical, with shorter intervals for heavy or regulated use. Reference standards and procedures are described in the manual. We can quote calibration with certificates.
Where do we get replacement parts?
The instrument uses standard, widely available consumables rather than special locked items. Replacement parts, accessories and consumables can be ordered from us against the model number. We keep common service parts in stock for prompt supply.
Can it be adapted to our requirements?
A range of options is available to match the application, such as alternative settings, fittings, data outputs or power supply. We confirm each option and its effect on price and schedule up front. Larger custom builds can be discussed.
Is installation and commissioning included?
Standard installation is straightforward and supported by the manual and start-up documentation. Our technical team can guide staff remotely through checks and validation. On-site commissioning is available as a quoted service.
What maintenance and safety points matter?
Do not exceed the load capacity, use misaligned or worn grips or stand in the test path. Use guarding and correct fixturing. Follow laboratory safety rules.
