137-008 Self Tightening Double Bollard Cord Grip

By -
Our engineers took inspiration from the world of 'Yachting' when designing this grip. It is a variation of our existing HT32 grip which has a manual clamp.


The 137-008 Self Tightening Double Bollard Cord Grip has sprung loaded eccentric clamp rollers which increases the gripping pressure with cord tension.


These are rated at 20kN Max capacity.

Automated Friction "Pinch" testing of Hydrophilic Coatings on Catheters

These days angioplasty, is an endovascular procedure to widen narrowed or obstructed arteries or veins, is almost considered a routine procedure, yet the technology behind it is exacting and subject to rigorous quality and performance control. In this procedure a n empty, collapsed balloon, known as a balloon catheter, is passed over a wire into the narrowed locations and then inflated to a fixed size. The balloon forces expansion of the narrowing within the artery or vein and the surrounding muscular wall, opening up the blood vessel for improved flow, and the balloon is then deflated and withdrawn. A stent may, or may not, be inserted at the time of ballooning to ensure the vessel remains open. Not only are the stents themselves, and the wire used in their construction, tested for tensile strength, compressive strength and stiffness properties, so too are the balloon catheters used to deliver the stent into the body. In recent times, more attention is being paid to...

Mechanical Testing of Composites

As the demands for light-weight composite structures for aerospace, ground transportation, and environmentally sustainable energy systems develop, so do the mechanical testing requirements for composite materials, components and structures. Anisotropic and inhomogeneous composite materials, for use in demanding structural applications, require a wide range of mechanical tests. Determination of properties requires tension, compression and shear tests. Qualification and materials development requires other test types to explore more complex properties, such as open hole tension/compression (OHT/OFC), inter-laminar fracture toughness, compression after impact (CAI) and fatigue.   Tests need to be conducted over a range of temperatures on materials that may have been conditioned in a variety of environmental conditions, such as high humidity and immersion in fluids. Composite tests have been standardized by a number of organizations. The main international composite testin...

Testing Wet Tensile Strength of Absorbent Paper

By -
Image
On the way of innovation, Tinius Olsen now uses its Tensile Testing Machine to put up a test to measure the wet tensile strength and performance of tissue and absorbent paper. Wet tensile strength is the maximum force supported by the unit width of a wet test piece of tissue/absorbent paper until the onset of rupture using a tensile test. EN 12625 defines th e preparation of the test specimen in terms of the edge quality and dimensional tolerances . The test specimen is placed into a Tinius Olsen tensile testing machine upper clamp so that a loop is produced around what is called the “Finch” soaking device bar; the soaking vessel containing water is raised allowing soaking for 15 seconds, the tensile force is then applied & once the specimen ruptures, the soaking vessel is removed. Results are automatically reported through Horizon test software in terms of Mean wet tensile strength (N/m) & Relative wet tensile strength (%) which qualifies the strength &...
