What is Compression testing, and why is it important?

Compression testing helps evaluate a material's ability to withstand compressive forces, making it essential for ensuring structural integrity, quality control, and regulatory compliance across industries. 

Tests can assess strength, durability, and specific performance characteristics by subjecting materials to controlled compression forces. This helps you make informed decisions during product development, manufacturing, and construction and ultimately contributes to the reliability and longevity of your products and infrastructure.
