1. What are Threaded Specimen Grips?

Threaded Specimen Grips are specialized grips designed to securely hold threaded specimens, such as bolts, rods, and screws, during mechanical testing. These grips are commonly used in universal testing machines to conduct tests like tensile strength testing, compression testing, and fatigue testing. The threaded design allows for a secure attachment to specimens with threaded ends, ensuring stable and reliable testing results.

Threaded Specimen Grips work by utilizing a threaded clamping mechanism. The specimen, which features a threaded end, is inserted into the grip. The grip’s internal threads engage with the specimen’s threads, allowing for a secure attachment. The user then tightens the grip to hold the specimen in place during testing. This clamping action ensures that the specimen remains stable during the test, preventing slippage and yielding accurate results.

Threaded Specimen Grips are ideal for testing materials with threaded ends, such as:

  • Metal bolts, rods, and screws
  • Plastic or composite threaded components
  • Fiberglass rods
