Accessory
Film Grips, 500 N, 10-32 UNF
432-157
Used for flexible samples such as films, where conventional flat-faced grips may create stress points and so artificially reduce tensile strength. Samples are wrapped around the roller thereby spreading the load around the diameter.
Grips are supplied…
