Full range of contact-type extensometers for force and materials testing

Extensometers are widely used to measure the changes in length of an object, for example during stress-strain and tensile testing. They can measure the extension, compression and shear deformation of a material sample when force is applied, helping engineers to understand the impact this could have on precision made parts in aerospace, automotive and other industries – where safety of components is paramount. 

Our full range of contact extensometers from Reliant Technologies and Epsilon are compatible with Starrett Force systems and feature automatic identification of model and measuring range. 

Choosing the right extensometer involves understanding your gauge length and measuring range. The temperature of the testing environment can also impact which device you will need. At Optimax, our engineering team can assist you in finding the best extensometer for your application.
