Chatillon GF-5 Figure 8 Fixture for Wire and Cord
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.
