Compression will is one of the most common texture tests, especially for food products. Typically a sample is placed on a flat surface and an upper Compression will platen is lowered into the sample.
For a true compression will test, the compressed sample is never smaller in diameter than the two compression will surfaces.
Tests are performed by compression will to a given force, given a position or a percentage of the the original height of the sample.
Compression will with smaller diameter the probes, compress locally and may also induce penetration or puncture.
