Chatillon® GF-3
Grooved Snubber for Wire

The grooved snubber and post design for this grip helps to ensure a center break on the specimen. The swivel-plate mounted 25 mm (1 in) snubber maintains proper alignment of the specimen. The ball socket mounting screw in the upper grip maintains accurate alignment of the upper and lower grips. Maximum specimen diameter is 2 mm (1/16 in).

Capacity
225 lbf (1 kN)

Applications
Used for testing on fine, flexible wire and filament. The specimen is pulled to break and the relationship recorded between force at break and extension. The test also determines other mechanical properties including:

  • Elongation
  • Maximum Load
  • Percentage Elongation
  • Stress
  • Extension
  • Tensile Strength
  • Percentage Yield Point Extension
  • Yield Stress

Packaging
Includes upper and lower grip.

We Can Help!
Selecting the correct grip can be difficult. In fact, improper grips or fixtures are the second leading reason (loadcells are the main reason) why tests fail and results aren't what you expected.

Send us some samples. We'll evaluate and recommend the proper grip or fixture for your application. Just contact your nearest Technical Support Center.
