Thin film testing grips.


X17 thin film grips are said to prevent slippage Slippage

The difference between estimated transaction costs and the amount actually paid.

Notes:
Slippage is usually attributed to a change in the spread.

 the company. Products made by dipping NR latex can extend by up to ten times their original length, and are often coated with a lubricant. Therefore, slippage or breakage at the grips are said to frequently invalidate tests. A combination of clamping and capstan capstan

 effects in the thin film grips is said to overcome these problems. The X17 grips achieve a 360[degrees] wrap-around of the sample, which due to the exponential relationship of the capstan effect, squares the gripping friction on the sample. Originally designed for testing latex samples up to 25 mm wide, the grips are also said to be suitable for compliant elastomeric material, paper, fabric and threads less than 0.2 mm in thickness. The X17 grips are opened and closed by a simple thumb and forefinger forefinger /fore·fin·ger/ (-fing-ger) index finger; the second finger, counting the thumb as first.
