Material Test Grips, Fixtures, and Adapters
Grips and fixtures designed for a variety of material testing applications, including tensile, compression, and bend testing. Adapters to mount grips to any universal testing machine, load cell, or force gauge.
JLW Instruments offers a wide variety of grips and fixtures to suit your industry and testing applications.
Connections on these grips and fixtures are threaded or have a female eye end. Grips and fixtures with a female eye end will have a 5/8" or 1.25" diameter. These sizes are standard for Lloyd Instruments, Chatillon, and Mark-10 equipment. We also sell these brands of test stands, load cells, and force gauges to use with our grips and fixtures.
Tensile Testing Grips
Tensile grips are essential in material testing to firmly hold a specimen during a tensile test. When selecting grips and jaws, it is important to consider the material of the specimen to avoid damage or slipping during the test. Certain materials are more susceptible to damage at the jaw contact points.
