High Temperature XY Planar Biaxial Extensometer (1200°C or 1600°C) – Model 7651
to the materials testing community, you know we will be there to stand behind our products when your critical application requires it.
VERIFIED TO EITHER ASTM E83 OR ISO 9513 STANDARDS
using in-house calibration systems that are calibrated with Epsilon’s laser interferometer system.
Model 7651 extensometers measure combined in-plane strains in flat cruciform specimens tested in machines capable of simultaneous X and Y (perpendicular) axial loading and on standard flat samples tested in pure tension. All models are capable of bi-directional displacement in both axes and may be used for strain-controlled fatigue testing under fully reversed load and strain conditions at frequencies up to 10 Hz.
All 7651 models mount rigidly on the load frame and incorporate slide mounting to bring the extensometer into contact with the specimen. The gauge length is set automatically before mounting on the test specimen, which allows for hot mounting after thermal equilibrium has been reached.
These units are specifically designed to eliminate crosstalk between axes and to provide high accuracy, high resolution measurements. They incorporate capacitive sensors for low operating force and include electronics with programmable filtering and multi-point linearization for improved performance and accuracy. The overall design minimizes, and in many cases virtually eliminates, any influence from common lab environment vibrations.
These liquid-cooled extensometers are equipped with high purity alumina rods with conical rod tips for specimen contact when testing to 1200 °C (2200 °F). Silicon carbide rods are used for the 1600 °C (2900 °F) high temperature option.
The Model 7651 is often customized for specific test needs. Contact Epsilon for a configuration that matches your requirement.

- Model EPS170 constant-temperature recirculating chiller
Liquid cooling is recommended for all elevated temperature tests to obtain the best measurement accuracy and retain the validity of a room temperature calibration when the specimen temperature is >540 °C (1000 °F). Cooling is necessary to prevent extensometer damage for testing in the range of ~800-1600 °C (1500-2900 °F). Epsilon Technology recommends the EPS170 constant-temperature recirculating chiller. - High temperature option (-HT suffix) for use to 1600°C
- Rod tips can be straight chisels or conical tips; specify when ordering
- Load frame mounting brackets
- Connectors to interface to nearly any brand of test equipment
