Diametral Extensometers for Rock and Concrete Testing – Model 3975
Epsilon extensometers are COMPATIBLE WITH VIRTUALLY EVERY BRAND OF TEST EQUIPMENT and can be supplied with the correct connector to plug in directly, or supplied with a separate conditioner and amplifier.
WITH EPSILON’S 20+ YEAR HISTORY OF SERVICE to the materials testing community, you know we will be there to stand behind our products when your critical application requires it.
36 EXTENSOMETER MODELS are available in many thousands of variations. Our focus on helping customers has led to the development of models to cover nearly any test method.
Self-supporting on the test sample, these extensometers will work on standard sized diameter samples, but special configurations are available upon request. They are designed for use in testing for Poisson’s ratio and for applications where accurate diametral measurements with low strains are required.
The Model 3975 is the best choice for small diametral strains in large compression samples. Epsilon’s circumferential extensometer, Model 3544, is recommended for large strain measurements. These units are easily attached to the sample, and rounded contact edges maintain the position on the specimen.
The Model 3975 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 with electronics for a strain channel, and Epsilon will equip the extensometer with a compatible connector that is wired to plug directly into the controller. For systems lacking the required electronics, Epsilon can provide a variety of signal conditioning solutions that enable connecting to data acquisition systems or other equipment.
- Full bridge, 350 ohm strain gaged design for compatibility with nearly any test system.
