A compression tester is a common universal testing machine that is designed to evaluate the compressive strength or crush resistance of materials. The initial step in determining the correct compression testing machine for your lab is to consider the size, shape, known strength characteristics of the samples being tested. Some machines are configured for compression only, while others can also preform other applications such shear, tensile, or bend tests. Models can be fully automatic with the machine controlling it all or semi-automatic, allowing the user to make manual adjustments during the test.

The Shimadzu MCT-W Series micro-compression testers evaluate the strength of micro-components, micro-particles, and fine fibers used in new materials.
Features
Available Test Modes:
- Compression Testing: Force increases until either the sample ruptures or a preset load is achieved.
- Load-Unload Testing: Force is increased to a preset max load point and then reduced to a preset minimum load point. By measuring the difference in displacement between the maximum and minimum point, the recovery rate percentage of the sample is calculable.
- Cyclic Testing: Test force is repeatedly increased and decreased up to 250 times to evaluate specimen fatigue properties.
