COMPRESSION STRENGTH
Load and Compression Strength Properties
Part of your panel strategy is to define and identify your compression strength needs. Determining whether you require a point load or a uniform load as well as how the panel will be anchored is critical in determining your panel materials.
Bellcomb brings years of engineering experience to the table in order to help you determine the most appropriate product design to move forward with. It is imperative that while meeting your compression strength requirements we also evaluate all the other panel essentials such as chemical and corrosive resistance, fire resistance, panel flatness and stiffness in order to give you the best Bellcomb sandwich panel solution.
Core Materials
We understand that shock and impact loads can be an critical to product performance. Our Design and Mechanical Engineers work hand in hand to identify the appropriate core material to meet your honeycomb panel needs. We are able to tailor core materials and honeycomb cell size to achieve appropriate compression strengths in our composite panels.
