PRODUCT INFORMATION Model# GD4255 ASTM D4255 Two Rail Shear Fixture Compression

PRODUCT INFORMATION Model# GD732-712 GD732-712 meets ASTM D732 requirements for shear strength test tooling fixtures used for the punch-style shear test. The square plastic test specimens are fastened beneath the punch. The tooling holds the specimen in place while the punch is pushed down and through the plastic specimen.

PRODUCT INFORMATION Model# GB565-396 GB565-396 is for shear testing aluminum rods and rivets, per ASTM B565.There are a number of strength requirements for the fixture set by ASTM. Including use of hardened steel with a hardness greater than 52 HRC. To ensure a proper shear, the radius of the shearing edges must be less than 0.0005 in. (0.013mm). ASTM also requires that fitted machined bolts are to be used to hold the components of the gripping device together. Finally, the clevises and tongue must fit properly.

PRODUCT INFORMATION Model# GD3410 GD3410 fixture is for determining the compressive strength of polymer matrix composite materials. GD3410 transmits force to the specimen via tapered rectangular wedge grips. The mating surfaces of the wedge grip assembly are polished, lubricated, and nick-free to ensure smooth sliding contact between the components. By using wedges of different thicknesses, specimens of varying thickness can be tested in this fixture.

PRODUCT INFORMATION Model# GD7078-722 The GD7078-722 shear fixture meets the requirement of ASTM D7078 for testing shear properties of fiber-reinforced composite materials. The v-notched test specimen is clamped into each half of the fixture and is sheared through tensile loading of the GD7078-722. Reference ASTM Standard D 7078, 2005, Standard Test Method for Shear Properties of Composite Materials by V-Notched Rail Shear Method, ASTM International, West Conshohocken, PA, 2005.

PRODUCT INFORMATION Model# GD5379-600 GD5379-600 is a four-point asymmetric flexure fixture which tests for shear properties by means of the V-notched beam method. Each half of the fixture contains a wedge-action grip which lightly clamps one half of the test specimen across the specimen width while simultaneously supporting the specimen on its back face. One of the grips, normally the lower half, is mounted on a base plate which also supports a linear bearing shaft, while the other grip, normally in the upper position, contains a linear bearing which mounts over the shaft on the base. Each element is attached to or supported by one of the testing machine heads. A specified gap is left unsupported between fixture halves. An alignment tool is provided to ensure that the specimen notch is aligned with the line of action of the loading fixture.

PRODUCT INFORMATION Model# GC273-193 GC273-193 is specially designed to meet the requirements of ASTM C273; shear testing of sandwich core materials. The test specimen is bonded to the inside faces of the fixture. The thickness of the test specimen and fixture must be such that the line of tension or compression passes through the corners of the test material. Compression fixtures are also available for the C273 test.
