compression plate Orthopedics A plate used to stabilize fractures, used with lag screws to provide dynamic compression on the tension side of bone; dynamic CPs are the most common types of plates, and have special oval screw holes with a
beveled floor and an inclined surface, to approximate the ends of the bone as the screws tighten. See Plate. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |

A narrow dynamic compression plate was applied after anterolateral contouring to neutralise the shearing forces held by the lag screws. For example: An extrusion cell to test the flow properties of yoghurt; a compression plate to test the structure of bakery goods; a three point bend assembly to calculate the break strength of biscuits, confectionery and many more; cutting blades to test the shear force of meat products; a punch assembly to determine the shear force of meat products; a punch assembly to determine the shear of dough, fruit, vegetables and cheese products. The compression plate plastimeter consists of two parallel plates used to compress a sample with a constant applied force; the thickness reduction is measured after a set time. |
