Compression force analysis

Compressive strength analysis measures the resistance of a material or product to a vertically applied load. This data is essential for assessing the robustness, mechanical stability, and stacking behavior of various products in the packaging, materials, food, cosmetics, and animal nutrition sectors.

The test is performed using a dynamometer or texturometer, which applies a progressive force until the sample deforms or breaks. The analysis determines the maximum force supported, the deformation at break and, in some cases, the compression modulus. It can be used on solid products (tablets, granules, rigid materials) or semi-solid products (pastes, compressible gels).

Commonly tested matrices include: food tablets, caps, packaging, animal nutrition blocks, pellets, technical foams, etc.

At YesWeLab , we collaborate with a rigorously selected network of laboratories, most of which are certified and/or accredited (ISO 17025, COFRAC, etc.). These laboratories are chosen based on your specific needs, the matrices to be analyzed, and the analytical techniques or methods required.
