For wood, textile, and geomembrane testing on a universal testing machine, these grips and fixtures are commonly selected to support ASTM methods used for each material family, including ASTM D143 and ASTM D4761 for wood mechanical tests, ASTM D3787 for textile ball burst, and ASTM D4833 for geomembrane puncture.

The exact standard you should run depends on the test type you need (tension, shear, flexure, puncture, or burst) and matching the fixture style to the specimen geometry so the load is introduced cleanly and repeatably:

• Wood: ASTM D143, ASTM D4761
• Textiles: ASTM D3787 (ball burst)
• Geomembranes: ASTM D4833 (puncture)
