Need a load cell to validate link strength

[sriegel]

I am playing with soft Kevlar shackles and would like to do some destructive testing to validate breaking strength.

Anyone here have access to a winch and load cell that could take up to 6K lbs or more?

Any destructive testing labs in your area? We used to get materials tested at a local lab when I worked at a fab. shop, I'm sure they could test those for you.

I'll see what I can find. Thx

Don't know where you are. Any chance there's a University nearby? One with a Mechanical Engineering dept.?
