An apparatus for performing a mechanical seal test, comprising a housing (301) defined by a top, bottom and side walls; an adapting means (307) forming a part of the top wall, having a central aperture for accommodating a test sample and being replaceable to allow seals of different sizes to be tested; a pressing plate (303) mounted above the top of the housing (301) and movable towards and away from the top wall; and a plurality of clamp members (311) extending downwardly from the bottom surface of the pressing plate (303), such that the clamp members (311 ) can clamp the test sample against the top wall when the pressing plate (303) has been moved towards the top wall to bring the clamp members (311) into contact with the test sample. |
