TA3800 High Elongation Extensometer

The TA3800 is designed for materials with long measuring ranges like plastics, rubber, and elastomer testing. These extensometers offer a unique design allowing for testing to failure and minimized interaction with the sample.

Description

The TA3800 is designed for materials with long measuring ranges like plastics, rubber, and elastomer testing. These extensometers offer a unique design allowing for testing to failure and minimized interaction with the sample.

Features:

  • May be left on through specimen failure.
  • The main body is stationary with only the lightweight traveling heads moving.
  • Comes with an adjustable magnetic base for easy mounting.
  • Large measuring range to 500 mm.
  • Includes a Shunt Calibration System (with units configured to mimic strain gaged sensors) for on-site electrical calibration.
  • High accuracy elastomer strain measurement.
