compression testing
[kəm'preʃən 'testɪŋ]
noun
ensaio de compressão
1. A method of material testing that measures how a material responds to being compressed or squeezed, typically to determine its strength, elasticity, and failure point
The engineers performed compression testing on the concrete samples to ensure they met building standards.
Os engenheiros realizaram ensaios de compressão nas amostras de concreto para garantir que atendessem aos padrões de construção.
2. A standardized industrial procedure using specialized equipment to apply controlled pressure to materials until they deform or break
Compression testing revealed that the new polymer could withstand forces up to 50 MPa.
O ensaio de compressão revelou que o novo polímero poderia suportar forças de até 50 MPa.
Compression testing is a fundamental procedure in both Brazilian and American engineering standards, particularly in civil construction, materials science, and manufacturing. In Brazil, it is essential for verifying concrete quality in construction projects, while in the USA, ASTM standards govern compression testing protocols across multiple industries.
