About This Product
Compression set describes how far rubber fails to recover its original thickness after being held under compression, and it is commonly checked on rubber and elastomer samples. In a fixture like this, the specimens sit between plates and a screw applies the load, so the compression can be applied quickly. The springs on the spacers open the gap between the plates so that specimens can be inserted, and the whole fixture can be placed in an oven when a test is run at elevated temperature. Schools, colleges and distributors in Bahrain, Cabo Verde, Egypt, Timor-Leste and Montenegro can source the Compression Set from School Lab Equipment India.
