#CompressionTestEquipment

[heicodynamics]

Tensile testing machines and compression testing machines are different when it comes to the kind of force that is applied to a material. A tensile testing machine uses a pulling force to stretch specimens. A compression testing machine uses a pushing force to crush or compress them. It is possible to monitor various types of deformation and material properties because the force is acting in opposite directions. Understand the difference between tensile vs Compression below.
