A 100 mm test width is best suited to low-force specimens that stay compact across the grip or fixture area. For this machine, that commonly includes plastic and rubber dog-bone samples, thin films, adhesive strips, foam, paper, wire, fiber, thread, small metallic specimens, and similar lab samples used in tensile, compression, and flexural testing.

The main selection check is the full test setup, not just the specimen’s nominal width. That 100 mm dimension is the available horizontal clearance at the frame, and the usable space also has to accommodate the grip body, jaw faces, specimen shoulders, and any extensometer or bending/compression fixture. We can configure this system with different grips and fixtures, so the right fit depends on specimen geometry, grip style, and test method.

When determining the optimal configuration for your samples, learn more or request a quote. If you share your specimen width, gauge section, material, and test method, we can help match the right frame and fixture setup.
