Information on the most widely used ASTM standards within the materials testing industry
ASTM D638, plastic vice tensile grip
Tensile test fixture for plastics is based on the test standatd ASTM D638, determination of the tensile properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics in the form of standard dumbbell-shaped test specimens when tested under defined conditions of pretreatment, temperature, humidity, and testing machine speed.
This test method is applicable for testing materials of any thickness up to 14 mm (0.55 in.). However, for testing specimens in the form of thin sheeting, including film less than 1.0 mm (0.04 in.) in thickness, ASTM standard D882 is the preferred test method. Materials with a thickness greater than 14 mm (0.55 in.) shall be reduced by machining.
General introduction
Tensile test fixture for plastics is based on the test standatd ASTM D638, determination of the tensile properties of unreinforced and reinforced plastics in the form of standard dumbbell-shaped test specimens when tested under defined conditions of pretreatment, temperature, humidity, and testing machine speed.
This test method is applicable for
testing materials of any thickness up to 14 mm (0.55 in.). However, for
testing specimens in the form of thin sheeting, including film less than
1.0 mm (0.04 in.) in thickness, ASTM standard D882 is the preferred
test method. Materials with a thickness greater than 14 mm (0.55 in.)
shall be reduced by machining.
Opening: 0 – 15 mm (depending on jaws)
Weight: 2.2 kg per pair of grips without jaws
Clamping force: 10 kN at 15 Nm torque
Main features
Simple and effective method to hold specimens;
Dual acting design, also for asymmetrical samples
Jaws articulate and provide a self-aligning and self-tightening effect.
