Catheter Tubing Tensile Strength Test

This test stretches plastic medical catheter tubing until it fractures to measure its maximum elongation and tensile strength.  We used our high elongation/low force eXpert 7601 single column testing machine equipped with a pair of bollard grips that are designed to hold tubular and cord type products in tension tests without creating premature breakage caused when using standard vise or wedge grips.
