These compact tension grips are for plane-strain fracture toughness tests of metallic materials. Fracture toughness testing involves applying static loads to a notched sample to investigate brittle crack propagation and fracture conditions.
Compact tension grip sets include upper and lower grips and two 12 mm (0.47 in) diameter pins.
The grips have a maximum capacity of 50 kN (11,000 lbf) but are available with different size grip fittings to attach to different capacity load cells. In addition, a crack-opening displacement gauge is available to support the evaluation of crack propagation.

Amino acid composition analysis has traditionally been conducted for protein quantitation and peptide structure prediction. Its use has also extended in recent years to the quantitation of such functional components as branched chain amino acids (BCAA). Previously, in Application News No. L432 and L437, we introduced examples of analysis of amino acids subjected to fluorescence derivatization using o-phthalaldehyde (OPA) using the SIL-30AC. Here, we introduce an example of fast analysis of amino acids in proteins.
