Castable Mount<strong>in</strong>g Accessories<br />
<strong>Buehler</strong> SamplKlips®, Specimen Support Clips and UniClips® are <strong>in</strong>tended <strong>for</strong> use <strong>in</strong> support<strong>in</strong>g specimens dur<strong>in</strong>g mount<strong>in</strong>g <strong>for</strong><br />
metallographic preparation. The choice of clip will depend on the mount<strong>in</strong>g method and specimen geometry. All of these products are<br />
compatible with all <strong>Buehler</strong> castable media types (epoxy and acrylic). Specimen support clips are not recommended <strong>for</strong> compression<br />
mount<strong>in</strong>g. The SamplKlip® is compatible with compression mount<strong>in</strong>g, however the UniClip® is perhaps best suited to compressionmount<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
though the UniClip® must be oriented with the “legs” upward to prevent collapse dur<strong>in</strong>g mount<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
The weight and relative hardness of the clips should be considered when choos<strong>in</strong>g a clip. The sta<strong>in</strong>less steel SamplKlip® is the heaviest<br />
clip, but may be too hard <strong>for</strong> use when prepar<strong>in</strong>g a soft material. The UniClip® is the next heaviest clip and is softer, mak<strong>in</strong>g 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 <strong>in</strong>terference with etch<strong>in</strong>g due to a sta<strong>in</strong>less steel clip <strong>in</strong> contact with the<br />
specimen.<br />
Specimen thickness will <strong>in</strong>fluence choice of clip type as follows:<br />
Clip Type Approximate Compatible Specimen Thickness<br />
Spec Support Clip, UniClip® 0.0035” to 0.090” (0.9mm to 2.3mm)<br />
SamplKlip®, SamplKlip® I (large and small) up to 0.200” (5mm)<br />
Use the product dimensions listed below to ensure compatibility of these products with specimens.<br />

All dimensions and weights are approximate and <strong>in</strong>tended only to provide a relative comparison of these products. The width values<br />
are measurements of the clip at its widest po<strong>in</strong>t without a specimen. UniClip® height given above <strong>in</strong>cludes legs (h ~ 0.235” without).<br />
