Model 2 - Plastics
For plastics and other materials with relatively high amounts of elongation, this machine provides the same operating principles and holding jaw options as the Model 1, however, the loading system has been modified to automatically compensate for specimen elongation up to 100% on a 1 inch gage length. Loads of any desired magnitude from ½ lb. to 5 lb. in increments of ½ lb. can be applied with full assurance of uniformity throughout the test.
