Exploring Extensometers - What Are They and Why Are They Used
When used for materials testing, extensometers are used to accurately measure material properties that are critical for a vast range of engineering designs - aircraft, energy systems, medical devices, and civil structures, to name a few. Very often, human lives depend on accurate and consistent measurements made with extensometers. Image Credit: Epsilon Technology Corp. Testing structural materials often requires extensometers to make accurate extension measurements of only a few microns or tens of microns (which are much too small to see without magnification), and sometimes while under dyn...
