Transverse extensometer 3580 series

strain gaugehigh-temperaturefor furnaces

For transverse or diametral strain measurements at temperatures to 1000 °C (1832 °F). These extensometers may be used with furnaces having a side entry slot for an extensometer or with induction heating systems. They utilize a proprietary, rugged dual flexure design. 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. This model is for diametral strain measurement with furnace and induction heating systems. Quartz rods and liquid cooling allow the unit to be used for high temperature testing of metals, ceramics and composites. With induction heating, this model often can be used without liquid cooling. When used in furnaces, the extensometer is often mounted directly to the furnace side cut-out. Optional load frame mounting brackets are available for supporting the extensometer in cases where furnace mounting is not possible. These optional mounts are used with induction heating or furnace systems. Model 3580 extensometers are strain gaged devices, making them compatible with any electronics designed for strain gaged transducers.
