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.
Supporting Equipment For Complete Testing Systems
Extensometers are part of integrated testing workflows. These related categories enhance system performance:
