Tensile Testing Grips
Tensile Testing Grips hold a specimen during uniaxial tensile testing so that force from a universal testing machine can be applied evenly until failure. Proper grip selection is critical because it ensures accurate load transfer, maintains alignment, and prevents slippage or premature failure at the grip interface. During tensile testing, the universal testing machine & crosshead induce a uniaxial tensile stress or load along the specimen's longitudinal axis. Different grip styles...

Compression Fixtures
Compression jigs and fixtures support a broad range of material testing applications and configurations. These test configurations are typically performed with the universal testing machine crosshead traveling in the vertical downward direction, applying controlled compressive or flexural loading to the specimen while the fixture constrains the geometry to ensure uniform stress distribution and repeatable mechanical characterization & test data. Universal Test Machine Co. offers an ex...

Universal Testing Machine Accessories
Tensile and Compression testing machines can use many different types of accessories depending on the type of test involved. All of these accessories involve measurement, sensing, and data acquisition. Advanced testing requires the use of these instruments to acquire very accurate data. For instance, ASTM D790 recommends the use of a deflectometer to accurately measure the deflection or bend of the sample. Other tests, such as ASTM D638, may require an extensometer for strain meas...

ASTM Specific Grips
Many ASTM test methods require specialized fixtures to ensure accurate and compliant results. There are hundreds of ASTM-specific grips and test fixtures designed for a wide range of materials and procedures. While most are used with a universal testing machine (UTM), some are designed as standalone devices for niche testing setups. Examples of ASTM-specific fixtures include the climbing drum peel test, coefficient of friction (COF) test, various shear test fixtures, and the widely used 90-degr...
