This video demonstrates a tensile test performed on plastics using a clip-on extensometer from Instron. ASTM D638 is a standard test method for determining the tensile properties of unreinforced and ...

The Model 3800 extensometer is for rubber and elastomer tensile testing. Use it to measure tensile modulus, elongation at break, yield strain, and stress-strain curves of high-elongation materials.

The Video Gauge noncontact extensometer from Imetrum (Bristol, UK) reportedly is the only device of its kind to achieve the exacting requirements of ISO 527-1: 2012 ASTM D638 equivalent. The system, ...

Instron’s AutoX 750 high accuracy of +/-1 µm, along with a maximum travel of 750 mm and multiple knife edge options make it an ideal extensometer for tensile, flexure and compression testing of ...

Adhesive bonding is a critical part of the structural designer’s toolkit, whether components are metallic or composite. The availability of high-quality, reliable and reproducible data is central to ...

Improvements in both video technology and computer software has a new generation of non-contact extensometers coming to the fore; the video extensometer. Video extensometers have many advantages. They ...

As the demands for light-weight composite structures for aerospace, ground transportation, and environmentally sustainable energy systems develop, so do the mechanical testing requirements for ...
