The Testing Times

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.

S0844 Tinius Olsen GOST 23785-1 Cord Grips The Russian Standards are called GOST , and we've recently had a few of these come through the doors. This grip is designed to meet the GOST 23785-1, they are designed for testing cord. Interestingly the GOST standard calls for Vulcanite to be used as the grip faces, a difficult material to machine but can be used to great affect. This grip simply holds the sample in a vice grip after being wrapped around the testing face. ГОСТ 23785.1-2001
