Manual non-shift wedge grips are versatile grips for tensile testing a wide variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. The open-front design allows easy insertion of specimens and exchange of grip faces. The self-tightening action means samples are held firmly within the grip faces, minimizing slippage during testing.
Each manual non-shift wedge grip set includes upper and lower grips and file-teeth grip faces for flat plate specimens. Standard grip sets are available with maximum capacity between 5 kN (1,100 lbf) and 300 kN (66,000 lbf). In addition, grip sets are available with wide 50 mm (2.0 in) file-teeth grip faces for grips with maximum capacity between 5 kN and 100 kN (22,000 lbf). Grip sets of 250 kN (55,000 lbf) and 300 kN are supplied with 50 mm file-teeth grip faces as standard.
A comprehensive selection of additional grip faces can be found in the document on Grip Faces for Manual and Pneumatic Non-Shift Wedge Grips. Options include grip faces especially designed for rods, wires, materials with high hardness, and composite materials.

Hydrogen Energy Analysis Solutions for Quality Control of Hydrogen
Impurities in hydrogen production affect subsequent industrial processes. Strict purity standards have been defined for hydrogen used in fuel cells (ISO 14687-2019). This is because if hydrogen contains carbon monoxide, sulfur components, etc., the catalyst of the fuel cell will be damaged. The hydrogen fuel standard for FCVs (ISO 14687 TypeII GradeD) defines many items to be controlled, and Shimadzu analytical instruments can play a role in analyzing these items.
