Product Code : EL-RTE-13243
Quick Answer: The Compressibility and Recovery Tester is used for gasket material, with a hardened and ground anvil surface for the sample, steel cylindrical penetrators, two digital dial gauges and software in the load monitor that applies the preload and major load for a set period.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
- For compressibility and recovery tests on gasket material
- Hardened and ground surface on which the sample is placed
- Set of steel cylindrical penetrators of specified sizes and shapes, chosen according to the material tested
- Two digital dials on the anvil measure the thickness of the specimen at preload and at total load
- Software in the load monitor applies the preload and major load for the specified period, and a buzzer then signals when to note the dial reading
- Preload includes the weight of the penetrator and added weights, held to the specified value within ±1%

About This Product
Gasket materials are squeezed between flanges, so it matters how much they compress under load and how well they spring back afterwards. In this test a preload is put on the sample through a steel penetrator, the major load is added for a set period, and the thickness is read at each stage. The thickness lost under load and the amount recovered after it is removed show how the material behaves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What material is the Compressibility and Recovery Tester used for?
It is used for gasket material.
Q2. How is the load applied?
The software in the load monitor applies the preload and the major load for the specified period, and a buzzer then signals when to note the dial gauge reading.
Q3. How is the thickness read?
Two digital dials are mounted on the anvil, and the average of their readings gives the thickness of the specimen at preload and at total load.
