Making sure your engine has proper compression is vital for its health. You can rely on one of two methods to test this, but ...

Today, we continue our series on how to choose the right testing equipment for your organization — focusing on one of the most critical systems in packaging validation: the compression tester.

Compression testing is a way to determine engine health. We use differential compression testing in aviation because it is a more reliable method of testing engine compression than direct compression ...

The internal combustion engine (ICE) is a marvelous thing, harnessing the power of liquid hydrocarbons–ergo: gasoline or diesel fuel–to create motive force for motor vehicles. But over the years, ...

Micropillar compression testing [1] is fast emerging as a viable alternative to nanoindentation, for the measurement of mechanical properties and deformation behavior of small volumes and thin films.

During the late 1960s and most of the 1970s, the composites industry was absorbing the impact of what was then the recent introduction of carbon fiber. The resulting composites exhibited both high ...

The composites industry is increasingly recognizing the imperative of sustainability in its operations. As demand for lightweight and durable materials rises across various sectors, such as automotive ...

Ever wondered why some cardboard boxes stack perfectly while others crush under pressure? The secret lies largely in a material property called compression strength. This article dives deep into what ...
