Webbing is a strong fabric woven as a flat strip or tube of varying width and fibres often used in place of rope. It is a versatile component used in climbing, slacklining, furniture manufacturing, automobile safety, auto racing, towing, parachuting, military apparel, load securing, and many other fields.

Tensile testing of webbing / belt / tapes materials involves the testing of flat strips of high-strength woven material used in various applications ranging from sporting goods to military apparel and seat belts. or high performance aramids (Kevlar) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (Dyneema). The woven design without cut fiber at the edges results in a lightweight and strong product. When used in critical applications, such as safety seat belts, it is essential that tensile properties of webbing materials are understood. For example, the material should not have excessive elongation and should have consistent tensile strength properties. Therefore, conducting a tensile test on webbing materials is an important part of product design and manufacture.

Webbing capstan grips incorporate an ingenious double capstan design which provides fast, easy loading with a gripping action that results in proper breaks in the full gauge length of the specimen.
 

The key to the ease of loading is the use of an inner and outer capstan.
 

The specimen is loaded simply by inserting one end into the groove of the inner capstan and cranking it through 360 degrees.

Load capacity: 20KN, 50KN, 100Kn, 200KN.
Gripping width: 50mm/ 100mm
Max. sample thickness: 5mm
