Wire Grips (GF-3)
Grooved snubber, and post design assures center break of flexible wire up to 1/16" diameter. May also be used for testing cord, rubber or filaments. 1" diameter aluminum snubber is mounted on swiveling plate so that specimen will align with force when load is applied. Ball socket mounting screw in upper grip assures proper alignment with lower grip. Capacity: 200 lb; Upper grip weight: 5 oz; Combined grip length: 8-3/4" |
|
Miniature Filament Fixtures Grips (GF-4)
Designed for testing filaments or extremely fine flexible wire up to 1/32" diameter. 7/16" diameter snubber is part of precision machined swiveling fixture which assures specimen alignment with force when load is applied. All aluminum construction. Additional female adapter (aluminum) is supplied to adapt bottom grip and allow for proper alignment between grips. Capacity: 50 lb; Upper grip weight: 1-1/2 oz; Combined grip length: 5-1/8" |
|
Cord & Twine Grips (GF-5)
Three non-locking pin design for figure 8 wrap of specimen assures center break, and permits quick installation and release of test piece. Throat clearance with pins installed and clearance between pins are both 3/8". Throat width is 1/2". Ball socket mounting screw in upper grip assures proper alignment with lower grip. Capacity: 500 lb; Upper grip weight: 6 oz; Combined grip length: 5" |
|
Wire Terminal Test Fixtures (GF-10)
Specifically designed to test the ultimate strength of wire/terminal connections. Upper grip consists of self-aligning wheel with 9 equally spaced slots to accommodate standard terminal shank sizes. Ring terminals are secured with a pin, in line with the largest slot. Bottom grip has an eccentrically mounted, self tightening knurled roller which will accept wire up to 1/8" diameter. Capacity: 100 lb; Upper grip weight: 1 lb, 9-1/2 oz; Combined grip length: 7" |

Chatillon 01-1608 (TG-11) Vise Action Grip
This vice action grip features replaceable aluminium facing disks, plus other optional faces made of either leather or rubber for delicate specimens. This grip corresponds to the mechanical testing of steel wire per BS4545:1970. Includes upper and lower grip.
Applications
Used for tensile testing of soft wire, cord and fiber. The specimen is pulled to break and the relationship is recorded between force and extension. The test also determines other mechanical properties including:
- Elongation
- Maximum Force
- Percentage Elongation
- Stress
- Extension
- Tensile Strength
- Percentage yield point extension
- Yield Stress
- Percentage reduction of area proof stress
