Castable Mounting Accessories<br />
Buehler SamplKlips®, Specimen Support Clips and UniClips® are intended <strong>for</strong> use in supporting specimens during mounting <strong>for</strong><br />
metallographic preparation. The choice of clip will depend on the mounting method and specimen geometry. All of these products are<br />
compatible with all Buehler castable media types (epoxy and acrylic). Specimen support clips are not recommended <strong>for</strong> compression<br />
mounting. The SamplKlip® is compatible with compression mounting, however the UniClip® is perhaps best suited to compressionmounting,<br />
though the UniClip® must be oriented with the “legs” upward to prevent collapse during mounting.<br />
The weight and relative hardness of the clips should be considered when choosing a clip. The stainless steel SamplKlip® is the heaviest<br />
clip, but may be too hard <strong>for</strong> use when preparing a soft material. The UniClip® is the next heaviest clip and is softer, making it more<br />
compatible with soft materials. For metallic specimens that are to be etched after preparation, one of the polymer clips (SamplKlip® I,<br />
Specimen Support Clip, or UniClip®) is best to prevent interference with etching due to a stainless steel clip in contact with the<br />
specimen.<br />
Specimen thickness will influence choice of clip type as follows:<br />
Clip Type<br />
Approximate Compatible Specimen Thickness<br />
Spec Support Clip, UniClip®<br />
0.0035” to 0.090” (0.9mm to 2.3mm)<br />

are measurements of the clip at its widest point without a specimen. UniClip® height given above includes legs (h ~ 0.235” without).<br />
