Axial extensometer 2630-100 Series

clip-on

Instron’s static axial clip-on extensometers are a quick and easy solution for measuring strain and are suitable for use on a wide range of materials such as plastics, metals, and composites. Our decades of strain measurement experience have helped us optimize the design of these devices to include: lightweight, rugged cross-brace design that eliminates errors caused by physical distortion; built-in protection to reduce damage caused by over-extension of the device; and device arms that are designed to require minimal force to stay attached to the specimen, thus minimizing knife-edge slippage during testing. All extensometers comply with both the ASTM E83 and ISO 9513 standards and are supplied with calibration certificates showing the individual performance of each unit at its factory calibration. Features and Benefits Rugged cross-brace design with low operating force arms Unique, patented cone-latch system Precise, fixed gauge length with automatic calibration facility Interchangeable rapid attachment spring clips Centering guides for accurate alignment on small diameter specimens Ideal for temperature cabinet use, between -100 °C to 200 °C Suitable for closed-loop strain control for monotonic and low-rate cyclic testing Rugged construction allows for extensometer to be left on through failure for most materials Application Range Metals testing ‘n-value’ Flex or compression testing Rigid plastics testing Immersable testing Composites
