Aluminum Wire Testing Clamps, Eisco Scientific

Great for physics experimentation such as testing breaking strain and strength.

Typical investigations include breaking strain and strength. These clamps are designed for testing fine ductile materials such as nylon, elastic bands, copper up to 30 SWG, human hair and so on. Maximum load is 10 Kg. These clamps are not suitable for testing low elasticity materials such as steel or brass and so on. Stretch of materials is usually measured by placing a meter rule alongside the system. The wire can be clamped through the hole in the main bolt or wrapped around it. Use standard slotted weights to place load via the bottom clamp.
