Applicable standards
Vector designs and manufactures grips and fixtures for the test standards listed below. Configuration is confirmed for your specimen type and frame capacity.
- ASTM E8/E8M
- ISO 6892
- ASTM A370
- ASTM B557
- DIN 50125
- EN 10002-1
V-seat jaw inserts for round bar, tube, and wire — ASTM E8/E8M, ISO 6892, ASTM A370, and related standards.
V-seat grips centre round and irregular specimens (wire, bar, tube, rope) symmetrically in the grip line. The V-bed self-aligns the specimen axis for more accurate tensile results.
Typically supplied as interchangeable inserts for wedge, screw, or pneumatic grips rather than as a standalone family, with multiple V-opening sizes for different diameter ranges.
Maximum test capacity
| Standard | Max. load / force |
|---|---|
| ASTM E8/E8M, ISO 6892, ASTM A370, ASTM B557 | Inherits host grip capacity (typical 2 kN – 600 kN); DIN 50125 specimen geometry |
