Expert Commentary
Defines the Tension Parallel to Surface test. This evaluates the tensile strength of the panel along its length or width. The challenge for MTO grips is specimen slippage and end-crushing. We utilize specialized serrated wedge grips with a long jaw face to distribute the clamping pressure. Engineering-wise, it is vital to ensure the load string is perfectly axial; any eccentricity will induce bending, leading to premature failure at the grip interface rather than a valid failure within the reduced gauge section.
