Multifunctional extensometer
Zwick GmbH & Co KG, Germany, offers multiXtens, a new extensometer that can be used for a range of different applications as a multiple and multi-functional system. For example, test data from tensile, compression, flexure and hysteresis tests can be determined both at ambient temperature and in temperature chambers. The multiXtens provides high-measurement flexibility, high-measurement accuracy and resolution at large test travels. It features three movable slides on which the measurement heads are mounted and which are very precisely guided by a new developed linear unit (mineral cast). In its basic version, the new extensometer is equipped with two measurement heads allowing test travel measurement of 700mm. Starting with a minimum initial test travel of 10mm, the multiXtens determines values with a resolution of 0.2µm. As option, a reduction in width monitor and a fine precision extensometer can be adapted via the third measurement head. This is of particular importance for metals tests with the determination of the Young’s modulus of elasticity, the determination of r and n values and for the determination of the tensile modulus on plastics.
The extensometer multiXtens can be operated fully automatically thanks to the company’s measurement and control electronics testControl. Settings can be simply and efficiently carried-out by means of a special remote control unit. The multiXtens is suitable for testing machines that are multifunctional and used for the performance of numerous different tests, such as materials testing laboratories, research institutes, etc.
