Hydraulic Grip Controls Controls the optional hydraulic grips. Hydraulic grips let you quickly and
easily install and remove specimens. The left handle controls the lower grip
and the right handle controls the upper grip.
Pressure Adjusts the amount of hydraulic pressure to the grips. The adjustment range is
1–21 MPa (100–3000 psi) or 1–69 MPa (100–10,000 psi). The highest
pressure setting depends on the maximum pressure setting. Adjust the control
clockwise to increase the hydraulic pressure. Use the pressure gage to measure
the clamping force.
