Tinius Olsen Inc.

The grip is designed for testing fabric, webbing, strapping and similar materials. The specimen is wrapped around the 2 in (50 mm) diameter smooth spools with its end securely held between the serrated faces of the split spools. The grip is used on LoCaps, benchtop testers, SL hydraulic testers machines and Electomatic materials testing machines with closed crossheads.

Tinius Olsen offers a wide range of hydraulic compression testing machine technologies with capacities from 0 to 3000 kN (0 to 600k lbf). Tinius Olsen has extended and expanded its product offering to the Civil Engineering community with its new range of sample collection, sample preparation and specimen testing equipment that is designed specifically for concrete; asphalt; cements, lime, plaster and mortar; and sand, aggregate and fillers. Each category has its own unique series of tests and corresponding specialist equipment. These machines include manaul (DG Series), semi-automatic (MU Series), and fully automatic (FA Series w Horizon software) testing solutions. All of the equipment offers a fully welded construction with a top crosshead, base, and solid side walls. The precision ground hydraulic piston is fixed to the base and the machine's platens are hardened, ground, and polished. The upper platen also comes with self-aligning capability.

When using the double bollard grip, a vice clamp holds the free end of the specimen, which is then wrapped around two bollards in a figure of eight configuration. Friction on the bollards reduces the stress at the clamp point, preventing premature failure of the specimen. The 99-032-0000 grip is used on benchtop materials testing machines.

Alignment Fixture (ref. 01036004) This allows alignment adjustment to eliminate loading inconsistencies and inaccuracies that frequently occur during sample loading. It has a maximum capacity of 300kN120klbf. Wedge Grip Faces These are used in the side loading hydraulic wedge grip body and are available in a variety of different shapes that best match the specimen profile.
