Digital extensometer.The company's universal testing machine A Universal Testing Machine is used to test the tensile and compressive properties of materials. Such machines generally have two columns but single column types are also available. has been equipped with an advanced digital extensometer ex·ten·som·e·ter n. An instrument used to measure minute deformations in a test specimen of a material. [extens(ion) + -meter. and configured for tensile tests on elastomers. The multiXtens extensometer is said to be the only device available which is capable of measuring modulus of elasticity modulus of elasticity The ratio of the stress applied to a body to the strain that results in the body in response to it. The modulus of elasticity of a material is a measure of its stiffness and for most materials remains constant over a range of stress. with a resolution of less than 0.1 [micro]m, and elongation to failure with a measuring range of 700 mm (minus the initial gauge length). In order to speed up testing on different specimen geometries, the gauge length can be automatically set to the required value or as a function of the specimen cross-sectional area. A plug-and-play sensor arm system enables the multiXtens to be used for most tensile, compression and cyclic tests, even those carried out inside a temperature chamber. Compression and flexure flexure /flex·ure/ (flek´sher) a bend or fold; a curvation. caudal flexure the bend at the aboral end of the embryo. cephalic flexure the curve in the midbrain of the embryo. tests previously requiring the use of analog measuring transducers can be carried out simply by interchanging the sensor arms, and the system recognizes and adapts to the change of configuration immediately, without requiring any operator intervention, according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. the company. The multiXtens is said to be suited for research, education and commercial testing labs. (Zwick) Circle 105 on card |
