Grips and Fixtures for Materials testing
TTS can offer new grips and fixtures to suit any test application and are designed to fit most OEM machines. All our grips and fixtures are manufactured here in the UK to the most exacting specifications.
Our grips are supplied and priced as a pair and include a standard set of jaws, exceptions are fixtures such as bending jigs, friction testing etc where the upper part is completely different from the bottom. All grips and fixtures come complete and ready to use and are adapted to suit your particular testing machine. Due to the large quantity of different testing machines in the market we keep our grips as piece parts and assemble to order.
Our grips are significantly more cost effective than OEM grips and but made to equally high standards.
Paper Grips
For compression tests on corrugated board, our board crush can perform tests of card either edgewise or flatwise. This saves time and effort in changing jigs between each test and is particularly beneficial when used with a multi-function, flexible testing machines by manufacturers such as Zwick/Roell.

ST116 500N Finch Device

This fixture is designed to carry out tension tests on wet paper samples. It has a built in soaking device to avoid the handling of wet paper.
The paper is loaded dry, then the cup is raised to cover the sample with water and held for the required time. The cup is then lowered and the test performed.
For longer soaking times on thicker paper a spacer is provided to hold the cup at the required height. Minimum immersion height is 19 mm.
All parts are stainless steel or plated for corrosion resistance.
