• Compression Plate - Vented 50mmØ + Cone with Hole Datasheet (PDF)

Vented compression plates are ideal for top-load / crush testing of containers such as PET bottles.

Two circular vents allow air to escape from the container during compression and an integrated nose cone helps to position containers centrally, minimising bottle slippage during testing.  These compression plates are suitable for bottles with necks up to 50mm (1.97") in diameter.
