The types of material which are subjected to the compression testers are concrete, plastics, metals, ceramics and composites, these testers are utilized as because it has loading accuracy and analogue, digital and computerized version of these testers are available. Few of its special features are these compression testers are available in different capacities , these have digital indication of loads and these are very much power packed operated as these testers have versatile applications compression testers are very much recommended for industrial standards which then authenticate the range of this compression testers which are products or items. The types of compression testers are concrete compression testers which are known for efficient serial testing of mortar specimens and are for their quality control purpose for many years. These concrete compression testers are widely used in the cement industries, universities and also largely in laboratories.

Another type of compression testers are called as vertex box compression testers as it enables to determine the compression strength of the box in order to make sure that the box would be able to resist the compression forces and will also allow to determine the transit and storage. This vertex compression testers is designed to measure the ability of the container which can resist external compression loads during transit and storage. The popular compression testers are electro pulse test instruments, dx testing systems etc.
