extensometer for tensile extension measuring

Extensometer is a specialized sensor used in material testing to measure the deformation/strain within the gauge length of a specimen. It converts the tiny displacements that occur during tensile, compressive, bending, or torsional loading into recordable data, which is used to calculate key indicators such as the stress-strain curve, elastic modulus, yield strength, and r-value/n-value. 

Standard gauge: 50mm

Extensione: 5mm, 10mm, 25mm.

Standard

ISO 6892-1 Metallic materials - Tensile testing

ISO 6892 specifies the method for tensile testing of metallic materials and defines the mechanical properties which can be determined at room temperature.  Related standard ASTM E8 , JIS Z2241 Method of tensile test for metallic materials.

Why Choose a Single Column Tensile Tester?


For laboratories, quality control departments, and research facilities seeking:
  • Precision without compromise: ±0.5% accuracy across a broad force range

  • Space-saving design: Compact enough for benchtop use

  • Versatility for diverse testing needs: From delicate films to small components

  • Cost-effective solution: High performance at an affordable price point

Single column tensile testers deliver reliable, repeatable results while maintaining ease of use - making them the ideal choice for modern material testing requirements.
Note: For applications requiring forces exceeding 5kN or specialized high-temperature/high-cycle testing, consider double column or hydraulic testing systems.
