The Testing Times

From the same stable as the S0984 this grip uses similar materials but holds the specimen in a different way. Designed to meet GOST23785 it is designed around the drawings given in the standards. The cord is wrapped around the Spiral Ebonite Bollards and held in place with a simple screw grip… This effectively distributes the load over a wider area on the cord. This means that delicate or multi-strand samples can be tested. One of the main problems with testing cord is the grips can create weak points in the sample if it pinches or nips the sample. This results in the test being void or can give misleading results. This grip is designed to avoid this... It has a 5/8" Nosepiece which means that it would fit on one of the smaller systems.

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
