Expert Commentary
Tensile Strength of Chemical-Resistant Mortar and Grouts. This test uses Briquet or Dog-bone specimens. These materials are used in highly corrosive industrial floors and tanks. The engineering focus is on Grip Interface. Standard jaws would crush the brittle mortar heads. MTO’s C-Shaped briquet grips utilize a curved contact surface that matches the specimen geometry exactly. This ensures that the stress is concentrated in the 1-inch square neck of the specimen. For engineers, we emphasize our Corrosion-Resistant grip options (Stainless Steel or Nickel-Plated), as these specimens are often tested after being soaked in acids or solvents, which can ruin standard tool-steel fixtures.
