One of the easiest ways to test an engine's health is by checking its compression. Testing compression isn't something the average muscle car owner would do every year, but it is a useful tool to ...

Want to know how healthy or unhealthy your engine really is? Get yourself a compression tester and find out. Despite how complex many modern vehicles are, you can do many common repair and maintenance ...

For the past five years, the cost of test has prevailed as the hottest topic in test. During this period, automated test equipment (ATE) has made a dramatic move towards low-cost design for test (DFT) ...

Embedded test compression is a standard technique for dramatically reducing the test data volume and test time on the automatic test equipment. Companies typically aim for 60x to 100x compression for ...

Compression: An automotive term used by everybody, forever. Let's get into some detail and maybe develop a better understanding. Pressure, and more pressure: It's a must-have to produce power within ...

Last month we acquainted you with a few unique procedures for using conventional tune-up devices—such as a vacuum gauge, timing light and electrical analyzer—for evaluating the efficiency and ...

Until the mid-1970s, compression testing of composite materials received relatively little attention. Up to that point it, had generally been assumed that the compressive stiffness was approximately ...
