Mechanical Strength Test

DESCRIPTION

Strain measurement is a key component of mechanical testing and is required by nearly all relevant ASTM and ISO standards. A video extensometer is a non-contacting extensometer that can measure deformation by tracking the movement of two attached markers on the specimen, using high-resolution digital camera technology. Key advantages of video extensometers are that they do not exhibit any influence on the test specimen, problems with knife-edge slippage are eliminated, and errors due to inertia of moving parts is also eliminated.
