Grip Environment

The grips can be used at temperatures from -129 °C to +315 °C
(-200 °F to +600 °F). For testing at temperatures other than ambient conditions,
the grips can be mounted inside an environmental chamber. When using the grips
above ambient temperatures, the maximum tensile load must be reduced
according to the figure below. Also, if the grips are being used above +260 °C
(+500 °F), the stainless steel springs should be removed or they might have to be
replaced periodically.
