The purpose of your engine is to compress fuel and air and then ignite it, creating heat energy that then makes mechanical motion. If your engine can't compress the air and fuel properly, the engine ...

Getting an engine compression test for your car is a bit like having your blood pressure taken. It sounds complicated without context, but it's a relatively straightforward and painless procedure that ...

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 ...

You might talk about it often, but do you really know what compression is all about? Every engine has to make it and those that don't are hurtin' for sure. But, here's the confusing part, for this ...

The size of designs continues to grow and IC manufacturers are pushing for higher test quality, especially in mission-critical applications such as transportation and medicine. More advanced nodes ...

A compression test reveals the condition of your engine's valves, its valve seats, and piston rings and whether these parts are wearing evenly. Healthy engines should have compression over 100 psi per ...

Test compression technology was invented to address the problem of escalating test-pattern size. Compression allows more test vectors to be applied to an IC in a shorter time and with fewer tester ...
