Grip selection can make or break a test, as an incorrectly gripped specimen will yield invalid results.
When physically testing a material or component, the ability to apply load to a test specimen is important—but having the ability to apply that load correctly is just as crucial.
Grip selection can make or break a test, as an incorrectly gripped specimen will yield invalid results. For a test to work, the test system needs to properly interface with its specimen.
In addition to the repeatability and consistency of the test system, one should make certain that
That the sample does not slip
The sample does not move, wiggle, shake, or wobble during the test
That all operators fixture the sample the exact same way to maintain consistency
This webinar will focus on force, materials, and torque testing applications in general and then showcase some of the most commonly used grips and fixtures in those test applications
What You’ll Learn in the Webinar:
Overview of compression testing
Most commonly used fixtures in compression testing
