DISPLACEMENT GAGES
|
| The displacement gage shown is designed for use on compact tension specimens. This design is a departure from the double-cantilever beam type of displacement gage. The short beams on this gage are not instrumented, and as such can be readily modified or replaced to suit special requirements. Linearity is excellent over the operating range and reliability at cryogenic temperatures is outstanding. Many customers like the ease of attachment to load line compact tension specimens as compared to cantilever beam displacement gages. Also available in nonmagnetic construction. | |

SEPARABLE EXTENSOMETERS
|
| The self detaching design of this separable extensometer is attractive for cryogenic tests. Specimen clamps are available for either rectangular section or round bar test specimens. Specimen dimensions must be specified when ordering. | |

SURFACE FLAW DISPLACEMENT Displacement Range: .070 inches Temperature Range: -454F to +250F Bridge Resistance: 350 ohms
|
| This displacement gage attaches to the inside surfaces of the starter notch. Location is maintained by contact friction. Attachment devices placed near the flaw are not required. The gage self detaches upon specimen failure and the fully active strain gage bridge provides outstanding sensitivity and linearity. The attachment prongs are dovetailed into the gage body and are adjustable over a range of approximately 0.2 inches. This feature allows contact pressure to be adjusted as well as making the gage adaptable to various starter flaw dimensions. Other types of attachments can also be devised to fit the gage body, allowing use of the instrument for other kinds of specimens or measurements. Two sets of attachment prongs are provided with each gage. The smallest flaw size (surface dimensions) possible are 0.100" wide by .020". | |
