Transversal extensometer 3475 series

miniaturetransverse

A miniature extensometer designed for general purpose transverse or diametral strain measurements on small or thin specimens. May be used simultaneously with the Model 3442 miniature axial extensometers or the Model 3542 axial extensometers. Epsilon extensometers are COMPATIBLE WITH VIRTUALLY EVERY BRAND OF TEST EQUIPMENT and can be supplied with the correct connector to plug in directly, or supplied with a separate conditioner and amplifier. WITH EPSILON’S 20+ YEAR HISTORY OF SERVICE to the materials testing community, you know we will be there to stand behind our products when your critical application requires it. 36 EXTENSOMETER MODELS are available in many thousands of variations. Our focus on helping customers has led to the development of models to cover nearly any test method. These very lightweight extensometers are self-supporting on the test sample. They are used for measuring transverse or diametral strain. Often they are used simultaneously with an Epsilon axial extensometer, and together these extensometers are suitable for measuring Poisson’s ratio per ASTM E132 with most materials and specimens. They are also used for characterizing materials with anisotropic properties, such as with many composite materials. This model clips easily onto the sample with an integral spring to hold the unit in place. It can be adjusted to work on any size sample from 0 to 25 mm (0-1 inch) width or diameter. The Model 3475 has an arm thickness of only 3.81 mm (0.15 inches), and will work simultaneously with any axial extensometer having sufficient clearance between arms (not all versions of the 3442 miniature extensometer can be used).
