Non-Contact Digital Video Extensometer
TRViewX
TRViewX is an advanced non-contact extensometer that offers high-measurement accuracy, is capable of measuring width changes, and is applicable to a wide variety of materials testing applications. In particular, due to the non-contact design, TRViewX is perfect for measuring films, foils, and other thin or narrow materials without affecting the specimen during testing. Furthermore, TRViewX can be used to measure displacements during atmosphere-controlled testing in a thermostatic chamber. TRViewX provides high-accuracy measurements in accordance with ISO 9513 Class 0.5 and JIS B 7741 Class 0.5 for elongation measurements and ISO 9513 Class 1 and JIS B 7741 Class 1 for width measurements. It is compliant with plastic tensile testing standards, including ISO 527, JIS K7161, and ASTM D638, even supporting 75 mm gauge length specimens (type A1 specimens) specified in ISO 527 and JIS K 7161.

Static Axial Clip-On Extensionmeters
2630-100 Series
The Instron static axial clip-on extensometer delivers precise strain measurement for static tests by quickly clipping to specimens (metals, plastics, composites) with minimal attachment force. Its rugged cross-brace design resists distortion, includes built-in over-extension protection, and meets ASTM E83 / ISO 9513 standards — making it a reliable, high-accuracy option for general and temperature-controlled testing.

Averaging Clip-on Extensometer
2650 Series
The Instron 2650 Series Biaxial Extensometers are ideally suited for testing a wide range of materials, including polymer matrix composites, metals, and plastics over a range of temperatures. Two sensors measure axial strain on opposite sides of the specimen. Versions are available which provide either a single averaged axial output or 2 independent axial outputs. The extensometers meet the calibration requirements of ASTM E83 class B1, ISO 9513 class 0.5, and ISO 527.

Bolt Extensometers for Proof Load Testing
Model 3565
Jinan Testing Equipment IE Corporation
The Model 3565 uses hard conical points to contact the bolt at the center of the head and at the bottom. It is fully adjustable for different length bolts ranging from 25 mm (1 inch) in length to 150 mm (6 inches) standard. Extension beams are available for longer bolts. The standard maximum measuring range is 1.25 mm (0.05 inches). Generally, on longer bolts this extensometer will be self-supported without requiring any centering marks or punch marks on the bolt. For shorter bolts these marks may be required. If the conical pins are sharp, marks are often not needed even on the shortest bolts.The extensometer has a zero adjustment screw to adjust the length between the contact pins. This is used to set the output voltage to zero, which corresponds to the correct starting position for the test. It also includes a breakaway lower arm. In the event a bolt should fail, the breakaway arm snaps free, helping to prevent damage to the extensometer. This is easily re-installed. In the event that bolt failures are likely during a test, it is recommended the user attach a cord around the upper part of the beam and tie the other end to the test frame to prevent the extensometer from falling. The conical point contacts included with the extensometer are made from tungsten carbide.The Model 3565 extensometers are strain gaged devices, making them compatible with any electronics designed for strain gaged transducers. Most often they are connected to a test machine controller. The signal conditioning electronics for the extensometer is typically included with the test machine controller or may often be added. In this case the extensometer is shipped with the proper connector and wiring to plug directly into the electronics. For systems lacking the required electronics, Epsilon can provide a variety of solutions, allowing the extensometer output to be connected to data acquisition boards, chart recorders or other equipment.
