Video extensometer RTSS

tensiletransversal

Contactless Strain Sensor for Material testing   - For standardised tensile tests   - Easy specimen marking   - Optional measurement of transversal strain   - Strain from 0,0005% to 1000% The RTSS Videoextensometer measures the longitudinal and transversal strain during material tests (e.g. tension, compression tests). The system can be used for flat and round specimen at field of view (FOV) of 10mm to 1000mm. For rope testing a FOV up to 5m can be realized. Strains from 0.0005% to 1000% can be measured.  The RTSS (Real Time Strain Sensor) can be intregated via different interfaces as a strains sensor and can be fully integrated in a tensile test machine. Further offline analysis modules for the determination of strain distributions and crack length (e.g. long term tests) are available.  Contact less No clamping =no mechanical influence of a mechanical sensor to the specimen:     • High precision     • No specimen influence/damage Measurement of the strain at failure (no mechanical limitation of the sensor) Material independent Wide application field on all materials Soft and rigid materials can be tested Strains from 5µm/m to 1000% Flexible field of view Specimen size of a few mm to some m For strains from 20µm/m until 1000% Used at small and large tensile test machines One system for    • Different testing machines in one laboratory    • Different tasks Camera-based Easy specimen marking Can be used for tiny specimen due to enlarged image visualisation Recording of movies for documentation and quality control High precision, high speed Simultaneous measurement of longitudinal and transversal strain Live-camera-view Fast system setup Precise specimen alignment
