Platens

Matest's range of platens includes upper and lower compression platens, distance pieces, and slotted distance pieces, designed to ensure accurate and reliable testing on compression and flexural machines.

These components provide uniform load distribution across specimens, maintaining precision and repeatability for tests on concrete cubes, cylinders, beams, and blocks. The distance pieces allow adjustment of vertical spacing, while slotted distance pieces offer versatility for various sample sizes and test configurations.

Using genuine Matest platens and accessories helps laboratories maintain machine performance, minimize wear, and comply with international testing standards. They are essential for ensuring consistent results and supporting the long-term reliability of high-precision testing equipment.
