Compression Stations for Radial Force Testing
Most types of Blockwise metal-die radial compression mechanisms are available for radial force testing, and can be attached to a Blockwise TTR2 tensile testing machine or to your tensile testing machine. Your choice will depend on the maximum diameter and length of your stents. To obtain the lowest friction and lowest purchase cost, choose the smallest mechanism that accommodates your size range. All of these mechanisms feature very low friction, linear relationship of stroke to diameter, and optional heating / temperature control.
