Instron 4400 Series User Manual

Install Specimen
Install a test specimen in the grips for tension testing, or
on the compression platen or other fixture for compres-
sion testing.
The gauge length has been set at this point, so do not
move the crosshead. If the specimen does not fit, either
trim it or change the gauge length. Tighten the upper
grip first. If this causes a preload, do not perform a bal-
ance procedure to compensate for it, as this is the initial
loading on the specimen.
