Pressing pressure

The term compression pressure refers to the pressure applied in a compression tool during the production of tablets or when shaping by sintering .

For example, powder or granular particles are pressed into a solid (medicinal) form in what are known as tablet presses . The tablet hardness can also be varied via the pressure . Analogously to this, however, samples for chemical analysis can also be produced, for example when producing micro-pressed parts from potassium bromide in which the substance to be examined is embedded, see infrared spectroscopy . Typical press pressures are in the range of 75 kN / cm ² .
