Model 632.85 Biaxial Extensometer

Introduction

The Model 632.85 Biaxial Extensometer provides axial and transverse outputs from a single extensometer. The biaxial extensometer is typically used when performing Poisson ratio testing, composites testing and metal formability testing.

The extensometer consists of three sensor units. Each sensor unit uses precision resistance-type, foil strain gages bonded to a metallic element to form a Wheatstone bridge circuit. Each axial sensor unit uses either a half or full Wheatstone bridge (depending upon the option selected) to measure axial deflection. The transverse sensor unit uses a full Wheatstone bridge to measure the transverse deflection.

The design of the conical contact points allows the extensometer to be used on a wide variety of specimens. These same conical points are usable on specimens with circular as well as rectangular cross sections.
