Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What determines the right grip for my tensile tester?
A: Match grip type to sample material and shape: wedge/vise grips for metals and rigid plastics, pneumatic grips for films and elastomers, and line/fiber grips for cord or yarn.

Q: Are these grips compatible with any tensile tester brand?
A: Most grips here are sold with standard mounting interfaces (screw-in, pin, or quick-change) compatible with Lloyd, Instron-style, and other universal testing machines — check the product’s connection spec.

Q: What capacity range is available?
A: Grip capacities range from a few newtons for thin films up to several kN for metals and composites, depending on grip type.

Q: Do grips need calibration?
A: Grips themselves aren’t calibrated, but the load cell and testing machine they’re mounted to should be calibrated per your quality system — ICS offers A2LA-accredited calibration for the full testing setup.
