Designed to the Standard

Did you know that 95% of presses in circulation cannot meet short or long-term requirements for optimal sample preparation? Aligned with ASTM D3182 & ISO 2393 MonTech presses outperform every competitor by meeting the platen parallelism, temperature uniformity, and PSI requirements.

  • Temperature Accuracy: ± 0.5°C
  • Platen Parallelism: Better than 0.1 mm/m
  • Platen Surface PSI: 500 PSI
