Extensometers

Our range basically includes two models: clip-on and coaxial extensometers.

Clip-on extensometers (available in a mechanical and an electronic version) are useful to detect strain during the first stage of the test (up to yield phase) and must be removed from the specimen before the rebar failure.

Electronic coaxial extensometers are applied directly to the specimen and remain connected until failure, measuring specimen extension with high precision during both the elastic and plastic stages.

Coaxial Extensometers with Fixed Base Length

Extensometers used for measuring the extension up to failure

Description

 

Introduction
Extensometers used for measuring the extension of specimens in traction, particularly in the case of steel and brittle materials, are only able to detect strain during the first stage of the test, or rather, while the brittle materials conserve their elasticity as they have to be disconnected before failure. This simple and economic system fully satisfy these requirements because:

  • it is applied directly to the specimen
  • it remains connected until breakage
  • it measures extensions with high precision of both elastic and plastic stage and with the appropriate simple adjustment, it is connectable to almost all testing machines


Description
The extensometers are basically made by 2 clamping devices and a middle tubolar steel part determining the gauge length of 200 mm.

Main Features

 

  • Applied directly to the specimen up to the failure
  • Measures extension of both elastic and plastic stage
  • High precision electronic transducer
  • 2 model dedicated to rebars
  • 1 model dedicated to strands

Universal Extensometers

Used to measure the elongation of steel rebars, round and wire steel specimens.

Standards ASTM A370 EN ISO 15630-1

Description

 

Used to measure the elongation of steel re-bars, round and wire steel specimens.
Both models feature a base of measurement  from 50 to 200 mm. They have to be removed before sample failure. Supplied in a carrying case.

Main Features

 

  • Brand new technology including the revolutionary EmS actuator
  • Silent and cool
  • Interchangeable transducers and load cells with “plug and play” signal conditioners allowing quick and easy transition of test set-up.
  • Easy-to-use and ergonomic testing system
  • Clarity in results with the 3rd Generation Integrated Multi Axis Control System (IMACS2)
  • Fully integrated and very compact in design, perfect solution for both static and mobile testing facilities
  • Optional air compressor that comes integrated into the machine
  • All-in-One computer control with the latest All-in-One touchscreen PC technology
  • Data output is fully compatible with FHWA FlexMAT™ and FlexPAVE™ software
  • Granting high quality to NCHRP 9-29 (all temperatures including 4 ° C are restored in less than 5 ‘after sample setup)
  • Including water cooling unit for temperature conditioning 

EmS technology’s main benefits:

  • Improved dynamic performance over servo-pneumatics
  • Stand-alone with no need of compressed air supply
  • Lower maintenance
  • Robust and durable giving a more resilient solution
  • Compact design requiring, in general, a smaller footprint
  • Easy to use
