Compression Shim Test Reports

Solid plastic shims are used to hold heavy objects in place until they are permanently attached with bolts, welding, grout, adhesive, or another method. Shims are commonly used throughout various construction and restoration work for accurate leveling and alignment.

Compression tests are used to determine a material’s behavior under applied crushing loads and are typically conducted by applying compressive pressure until deformation occurs. The results of the plastic shim test for compression can be found below.
