Extensometers

Extensometers enable precise strain measurement in materials testing, supporting engineering validation and quality control across Test and Measurement applications. John Morris Group supplies advanced systems from trusted brands including MTS, Scanivalve, PCB Piezotronics, and Cole-Parmer, supporting reliable performance in laboratory and industrial environments.

Extensometers For Engineering And Laboratory Testing

Our extensometers are designed to deliver accurate strain data across a range of demanding testing scenarios:

  • Precision Strain Measurement: Solutions such as those from MTS provide consistent data for tensile and fatigue testing applications.
  • Industrial Use Cases: Widely used in materials research, civil engineering validation, and manufacturing quality control to assess material behaviour.
  • Flexible Measurement Methods: Choose from clip-on or non-contact video extensometers depending on sample type and testing environment.

Selecting The Right Extensometer For Your Application

Choosing the correct system involves evaluating testing conditions and required performance:

  • Measurement Accuracy: Ensure the instrument provides the resolution required for your test method.
  • Environmental Conditions: Consider temperature, sample fragility, and testing setup when selecting contact or non-contact systems.
  • Standards Compliance: Select extensometers that align with international testing standards such as ISO or ASTM.
