ASTM C365
Engineered in strict accordance with ASTM C365, our flatwise compressive properties fixture is designed to determine the compressive strength and modulus of sandwich core materials. Featuring a self-aligning spherical seating mechanism to ensure uniform load distribution and engraved platens for quick specimen centering, it delivers highly accurate and repeatable test results. Designed to integrate seamlessly with dual extensometers or dial indicators, this robust steel fixture handles loads up to 100 kN and operates in extreme temperatures (-70 to 300 °C). It provides critical compressive data essential for the structural design and quality control of advanced sandwich panels in the aerospace and transportation industries.
Overview
Designed in strict accordance with the ASTM C365 standard, this fixture is engineered to determine the flatwise compressive strength and modulus of sandwich cores. By integrating with an extensometer or dial indicator, it enables highly accurate measurement of the material's compressive elastic modulus. These precise measurements provide essential data support for the structural design of sandwich panels, ensuring the ultimate safety and reliability of the finished products.
