About Lateral Extensometer

Lateral Extensometer

This is for determining the lateral extension of 15cm dia x 30 cm high cement concrete cylinders while testing them under compression.

Specification :

The unit consists of two movable frames pivoted at one end. The extensometer is fixed to the specimen with the help of tightening screws. The lateral extension is indicated on a dial gauge of 0.002mm x 5mm is mounted on the upper ring and the tip of the dial gauge rests on an anvil. The zero on the dial gauge can be set by adjusting the anvil screw. Supplied in a wooden carrying case.

High Precision and Durability

Built with hardened steel contact tips and a robust frame, this extensometer ensures consistent accuracy even under demanding laboratory conditions. Its precise resolution (0.001 mm) makes it perfect for detailed strain measurements during compression testing, while the chrome-plated and powder-coated finish resists wear and corrosion.

Versatile and Easy to Use

Designed for rapid mounting and removal, the device features spring-loaded grips and adjustable arms, accommodating a variety of specimen shapes and sizes. Its manual, analog dial gauge requires no external power, while the storage case enables safe, organized transportation between workstations.

FAQs of Lateral Extensometer:

Q: How do you mount and remove the Lateral Extensometer with Contact Points on a specimen?

A: The extensometer features spring-loaded grips that allow for quick and secure attachment to both cylindrical and cubic specimens. The grips can be easily released for rapid removal, streamlining the specimen testing process.

Q: What is the measurement range and accuracy of this extensometer?

A: This mechanical extensometer provides a measurement range of 0 to 10 mm with a resolution and accuracy of 0.001 mm, ensuring highly sensitive and reliable strain readings during compression tests.

Q: When is calibration required for the device, and is certification included?

A: The Lateral Extensometer is factory calibrated and comes with a certification, complying with IS: 516 and ASTM C469 standards. Recalibration is generally suggested after extensive use or if accuracy comes into question.

Q: Where is the extensometer most commonly used?

A: This device is widely used in laboratory environments, particularly for material testing in concrete and metal industries. Its robust design also supports portable applications for field testing when needed.

Q: What materials can the extensometer accommodate, and what shapes are suitable?

A: It is compatible with both cylindrical and cubic specimens, making it adaptable for various material types commonly tested in laboratories, such as metals and concrete.

Q: What are the primary benefits of using this extensometer in compression testing?

A: Key benefits include quick setup, reliable strain measurement, compatibility with a wide range of specimen shapes and sizes, and the assurance of factory calibration. Its shock-resistant construction extends its service life under regular laboratory handling.
