Compression Testing Services for Rubber Materials (ASTM D395)
Understanding how rubber performs under compression is critical for ensuring its reliability in demanding applications. At Sigma Testing Services (CMG), we specialize in compression set and stress relaxation testing, delivering comprehensive insights into the durability and functionality of your materials.
Why Compression Testing Matters
Compression testing assesses the resilience and mechanical properties of rubber under static and dynamic loads, helping manufacturers predict performance and prevent material failure. By simulating real-world conditions, these tests ensure your products maintain functionality over time.
Comprehensive Testing Capabilities
We follow industry-standard methods to evaluate compressive behavior, including:
- ASTM D395 – Compression Set Testing: Evaluates a material’s ability to retain its shape after prolonged compression, critical for applications requiring dimensional stability.
Stress Relaxation Testing
Stress relaxation testing examines how materials respond to continuous pressure, identifying risks of permanent deformation. This is especially vital for seals, where even minor deformation can lead to failure.
Applications We Serve
Compression testing is indispensable for industries such as:
- Automotive: Ensuring seals and mounts withstand extreme conditions.
- Aerospace: Validating materials for vibration damping.
- Medical: Guaranteeing reliable performance in healthcare products.
- Consumer Goods: Improving the durability of everyday items.
Why Choose CMG?
With cutting-edge equipment and decades of expertise, we provide actionable insights to optimize your products. Whether developing new materials or validating existing ones, we deliver accurate, reliable results to support your success.
