	Bending jigs are used for determining the flexural properties of rigid and semi-rigid materials (glass, ceramics, composites, wood & rigid plastics) which includes: Flexural stress at a given time of test Flexural stress at the conventional deflection Flexural stress at max. load Flexural stress at Rupture Apparent Modulus of Elasticity in Flexure	Flexural (bending) grips for Materials Testing Machines
	Peeling samples at 90°,180° T-peel & COF ASTM D3167, ISO4578, DIN53289, EN1464 standards	Peel & Friction Grips
	Single or double actuator Ideal for all types of flat samples, rubber, plastic, film, plastic dumbbells, paper and cardboard, sheet metal, foils, wood, fabrics and composites Suitable for use with the foot & hand controls	Pneumatic grips
	Vice grips with manual tightening action either buy thumb screw or T-bar Single or dual action, allow for offset sample alignment for shearing testing Ideal for flat samples, rubber, plastic film, plastic dumbbells, paper and cardboard, sheet metal, foils, wood fabrics and composites	Vice grips
	General tension testing of metals & plastics Grip tightens on the sample as force increases, initial force can be applied by various methods like side lever, capstan action wheel or screw action Faces are interchangeable for different sample types & dimensions	Wedge grips
	Suitable for a wide range of samples (fibre, yarn, thread, string, rope & strapping tape Sample can be wrapped around the bollard & clamped at one end Ideal for user with an extensometer to calculate true strain in the sample Pneumatic version is available	Bollard grips

	Single or double actuator Suitable for user with hydraulic pumps	Hydraulic grips
	Direct connect & options of a connecting chain for self alignment Ideal for testing of small component parts where access is an issue such as electrical & electronic components	Pincer grips
	Two part fixture Samples are machined dumbbells with metric threads Inserts are available for bolts & screws	Thread head grips
	Grips with a split-C design which allows the user to wrap the sample around a self tightening roller Samples can be manually pre-tensioned before test starts	Webbing & ribbon grips
Extensometers
	General purpose precision extensometers designed for testing a wide range of materials (metals, plastics, composites & ceramics) operates in tension, compression & cyclic testing modes High frequency operation is permited & eliminating vibration sensitivity Attachment kit to allow one-hand quick mounting to the sample	Contacting & Clip-on
	Two types 1st aims at the plastic & rubber industries to provide accurate readings of strain & extension over a large extension range that allows additional parameters such as yield point & break points to be calculated by NEXYGEN software 2nd type is suitable for user with rigid, semi-rigid & ductile materials	Long travel
	Measure deformation in 3 & 4 point bend tests, compression testing applications	Deflection gauge
–	Suitable for both the measurement of material constants as well as “long travel” applications Mounted on an adjustable frame which is attached to the tensile testing machine and it’s possible to adjust the video extensometer to the optimal position within the chosen work area 8 different lenses for optimal focus are availble	Video (Non-contacting)
