Ribbon and rope grips — ASTM D3759, D6775, ECE-R16, and capstan wrap tensile methods.
Capstan-style ribbon and rope grips measure break strength and extension of belts, cordage, wire rope, and woven tape.
Wrapping the specimen around a drum builds progressive friction grip, reducing abrupt failure at the clamp line.
Vector designs and manufactures grips and fixtures for the test standards listed below. Configuration is confirmed for your specimen type and frame capacity.
| Standard | Max. load / force |
|---|---|
| ASTM D6775 (capstan type) | 100 kN |
| ASTM D3759, DIN EN 14410, EN ISO 29864 | 20 kN – 100 kN |
| ECE-R16 (seat belt webbing) | Typical 20–30 kN |
