Chatillon® GF-5
Figure 8 Fixture for Cord and Twine
The GF-5 consists of an upper and lower grip , each having three non-locking pins designed for securing samples in a "Figure 8" orientation. The GF-5 design ensures fast sample setup and testing. Throat clearance with pins installed and clearance between pins is 9.5 mm. Throat width is 12 mm. A ball socket mounting screw on the top grip helps ensure correct axial loading during the test.
Capacity
562 lbf (.52 kN)
Applications
Used for tensile testing of insulated wire, cable and cord. 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 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.
