What is fastening torque
Fastening torque refers to the rotational force applied to tighten a fastener, typically measured in Newton-metres (N·m) or pound-force inches (lbf·in). The correct torque value ensures adequate clamping without overstressing components.

Jaws
Choosing the most appropriate jaw type for a tensile grip can be tricky. It is a balance between having sufficient hold of the specimen to prevent it slipping and not having too ‘aggressive’ a hold which damages the specimen.
