Loading Samples

Loading samples is very simple with the Pro-Tester
the sample grip assemblies. The left grip is a cam clamp and is opened by toggling the
cam handle to the right (open). The right grip is a screw clamp and is opened by unscrewing
the tri-handle counter-clockwise (open).The sample is prepared by bending the ends to be
clamped so they can be easily loaded into the grips. Load the sample from the top of the
grip until the sample rests against the stop tabs then apply the left and right grip clamps
(refer to Figure 5.4). If loading a 4" (100 mm) test coupon, align the edges of the sample
with the edges of the grip frame in order to center the coupon. The stop tabs will need to
be removed in order to load a 4" (100 mm) coupon.
