Syringe Compression Fixture Setup and Operation

Home / Testing Guides / Syringe Compression Fixture Setup and Operation

This post will help guide you through syringe compression fixture setup and operation on your universal testing machine. The syringe compression fixture is designed to perform ISO 7886 tests and can be used to run other tests on syringe samples. Choose an appropriate-sized CPC compression platen to complete the test setup.

1. Installing Fixture

  1. Secure fixture onto base with 4 M6 screws.
  2. Align beaker base pin with hole on fixture base.

2. Fixture Usage

  1. Determine the insert to be used depending on the diameter of the syringe to be tested.
  2. Place insert onto top of fixture.
  3. Place syringe into insert.

3. Maintenance

  1. Clean fixture after use.
  2. Fixture does not require lubricant.
  3. If custom inserts are needed for different diameter syringe, contact ADMET for new inserts.
  4. If fixture becomes worn or damaged, contact ADMET for a replacement set.

Testing Guides

  • Medical Adhesive Testing Basics

    Medical adhesives are specialized substances used to bond medical devices, tissues, or other components together. They must comply with strict biocompatibility requirements and are vital in surgeries, wound care, and medical equipment manufacturing.

  • Deflection & How To Use A Deflectometer

    Deflection, in materials science, is the amount a material deflects under compressive load. It is a displacement measurement with units expressed in millimeters or inches. This post goes over frequently asked questions around deflection measurements and equipment used to measure them.

  • Peel Strength Testing

    Peel strength is calculated by averaging the load to peel the specimen and dividing it by unit width of the bond line.

  • Tensile Testing FAQs

    Tensile testing FAQs including How does the loading rate affect tensile properties? How does grip-specimen engagement affect tensile properties? What is the best way to measure small strains? are answered.
