Results for tag: "Extensometer"

An extensometer is a type of sensor used to measure the strain or displacement of an object. It is commonly used in the fields of engineering, material testing, and medical research. Extensometers are typically used to measure the strain of a material under tension, compression, or shear. They are also used to measure the displacement of an object in response to an applied force. Extensometers are available in a variety of forms, including linear, rotary, and non-contact. Linear extensometers measure the strain of a material in one direction, while rotary extensometers measure the strain of a material in two directions. Non-contact extensometers measure the displacement of an object without making physical contact. The extensometer market is highly competitive, with a wide range of manufacturers offering a variety of products. Companies in the market include MTS Systems Corporation, Instron, Zwick Roell, Shimadzu Corporation, and AMETEK. Show Less Read more
