Tinius Olsen launches new video extensometer range

A video extensometer is a device that is capable of performing stress/strain measurements of certain materials, by capturing continuous images of the specimen during test, using a frame grabber or a digital video camera attached to a PC.

Just a month ago, Tinius Olsen launched its new range of video extensometers leveraging the power of the latest technology available in the market. Click here to learn more.

True to Tinius Olsen’s mantra as a world leader in the supply of materials testing systems, the Tinius Olsen video extensometer leaps ahead of competitive offerings from Germany, France and the US with the latest technology, ease of use and offers the following benefits;

• The sub-micron resolution (certified to ISO 19513 Class 0.5 and ASTM E83 Class B1 for metals testing) of these extensometers offers the user the same functionality of contact type extensometers with the added benefits of video extensometry.
• The high-tech testing software enables the user to measure strain on low and high elongation raw material test specimens or components using the same extensometer which translates in to additional savings and higher productivity in the lab.
• The user can select a wide range of gauge lengths from as little as 1mm upto 800 mm. This enables the user to cover a variety of international test methods that specify different gauge lengths, and which would not be possible in contact type extensometers.
• The extensometer can be used with a temperature chambers and or liquid baths to test a variety of applications.
• Tinius Olsen can supply the extensometer to fit and work with non Tinius Olsen systems e.g. Instron, Zwick, Shimandzu.
• The video strain data can be re run post test with new gauge marks on the same specimen
• Busy labs with multiple materials testing machines can use a single Tinius Olsen video extensometer across multiple tensile testing machines.

 

Frequently asked Questions:

• Does the Tinius Olsen video extensometer need sophisticated lighting ? 
• No, our latest technology compensates for lighting conditions in average labs
• Does it require exacting specimen marking ?
• No, the software supplied with the extensometer does all the work in identifying the changing patterns on image of the sample thereby giving highly accurate strain data.
• Is the video extensometer available at a price QA\QC labs testing metals, plastics, composites, elastomers and more can afford in these tough economic times?
• Yes, our pricing is very modular and competitive allowing the user to pick and choose a system that is exactly suited to their technical and commercial needs.
• How long does it take to set the extensometer up ?
• Tinius Olsen sales team can walk into your lab and set the unit up on any tensile testing machine and demonstrate in 30 minutes. Once set up, each test is just 4 mouse clicks. It literally takes seconds to starting using our user-friendly technology.
