Shear Versus Compaction

Comparing Shear Versus Compaction Force Measurement

Interface load cells are used in shear and compaction force measurement. Understanding the differences between shear and compaction is determinative, as it directly impacts applications, sensor choices, and output data for testing analysis. Learn about shear force versuse compaction, also known as compressive, measurement, applications and load cell types. This understanding aids in making informed test and measurement decisions in material science, mechanical engineering, and industrial automation.
Packaging

INTERFACE 101 STRAIN TESTING

Strain Testing 101

Interface tension and compression load cells are used for strain testing across multiple industries. Learn about strain testing, a very common in general test and measurement applications. Strain refers to the deformation or shape a material experiences due to applied stress. Load cells are used to measure how much a sample or material stretches, compresses, or shears and distorts in response to a force.
Adhesive And Bonding 1

Load Cells for Adhesive and Bonding Shear Testing

Interface provides load cells for adhesive and bond force testing. A shear testing machine uses a load cell to measure the shear strength of bonds and adhesives. A peel test is common for adhesives, adhesive-coated tapes, and paints. Load cells quantify the results and help to determine the failure of the paint and adhesive, an important quality control and design requirement.
