Extensometer: Precision instrument for measuring material extension
What is an extensometer and why is it important?
An extensometer is a measuring device used to measure the elongation or elongation of a material during mechanical tests, such as tensile or compression tests. At Deon Research Centre, we use extensometers because they provide accurate data on the degree of deformation in a material under load. This information is crucial for evaluating the mechanical properties of materials and is widely used in sectors such as aviation, automotive, and construction, where exact data is essential for design and quality control.

How does an extensometer work?
Using an extensometer includes the following steps:
- Sample preparation: the material sample is prepared and placed in a test setup. Deon Research Centre ensures correct sample preparation in accordance with relevant standards.
- Extensometer installation: The extensometer is attached to the sample so that it can accurately measure the deformation during the tensile or compression test. Our equipment is calibrated for optimal accuracy.
- Application of loads and metering: while the material is being loaded, the extensometer measures the elongation changes and records this data for analysis. Deon Research Centre provides detailed reports with clear analyses.
