Accessory: Extensometer- General Purpose

This general purpose extensometer is used for tensile, compression and fatigue testing on a wide range of materials. Available in gage lengths from 10 mm to 50 mm (0.5 to 2 inches) and travel ranges from 5% to 100%, the design is very versatile. It features a dual flexure design making it rugged and well-suited for higher frequency operation. The unit also features an optional quick attach clip, making it easy to mount the extensometer on the test specimen in seconds, with one hand. Features: May be left on through specimen failure High accuracy, with many models offering 0.1% linearity Designed for tension/compression testing Can be used at higher frequencies Rugged, dual flexure design Mechanical overtravel stops in both directions Replaceable arms and spacers for ease of repair Replaceable hardened tool steel knife edges Quick Attach Clips for one hand mounting to specimens High and low temp options extend for -265 C (-450 F) to +175 C (350 F) Specifications: Full bridge strain gaged design Output: 2 to 4 mV/V, nominal Excitation: 10 VDC typical, up to 15 VDC or VAC max. Cable: 8 ft (2.5 m) standard Options: Quick Attach Kit arms for large specimens High toughness knife edges and vee knife edges Adapter kits to change gage lengths Model 3542 Available Versions Gage Length: 10 mm or 0.500 inch 25 mm or 1.000 inch 50 mm or 2.000 inch Travel in Percent Strain: ± 5 % ± 10 % ± 20 % ± 25 % + 50/- 10% + 100/- 5% Temperature Ranges: Standard: -40 to +100 C (-40 to +210 F) Low: -265 to + 100 C (-450 to +210 F) High 1: -40 to +150 C (-40 to +300 F) High 2: -40 to +175 C (-40 to +350 F)
