Compression platens — ASTM D695, D6641, DIN EN ISO 14126, and related plate and cylinder compression tests.
Rigid parallel platens compress cubes, cylinders, panels, and plaques under axial load. Square and circular formats suit different specimen sections.
Self-aligning (spherical seat) versions tolerate minor parallelism error. Used for concrete, ceramics, sandwich panels, composites, and polymers.
Vector designs and manufactures grips and fixtures for the test standards listed below. Configuration is confirmed for your specimen type and frame capacity.
| Standard | Max. load / force |
|---|---|
| ASTM D6641, DIN EN ISO 14126 Method 2 | 100 kN |
| ASTM D3410, ISO 8515, DIN EN ISO 14126 Method 1, AiTM1-0008 | Model dependent, typical 50–100 kN |
