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.
