Compression Plate, Vented by Holes & Cone, 50 mm, 5-16 UNC
432-348
Vented compression plates are ideal for top-load/crush testing of containers such as PET bottles.
Holes in the plate allow the passage of air to ensure that air inside the bottle is not compressed thereby falsifying the true measurement of the top-load…
