FULL PRODUCT INFORMATION

Flexible, efficient and repeatable non-contact strain measurement

Driven by powerful cameras, processors and software, the MTS Advantage™ Video Extensometer (AVX) delivers unprecedented speed, accuracy and flexibility for non-contact strain measurement. The extensometer recognizes patterns on the specimen to acquire measurement data, which is then processed by MTS TestSuite™ TW software to calculate specimen strain and modulus. Calibration verification procedures ensure continuous and traceable data accuracy.

 

Choose from 16 different quick-attach, interchangeable measurement heads that have predefined gage lengths and integrated LED lights. Simply select a gage length and strain range that meets your testing needs, and use the corresponding materials testing measurement head to accurately determine Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, or select R-Value; or use a general purpose measurement head to measure high elongation materials.

 

This AVX can easily be mounted to any mechanical test system, and its ergonomic design includes a magnetic-return support arm for precise, repeatable video capture. The AVX’s magnetic-return support arm swings out of the way for access to the specimen when using a chamber or test area enclosure.

  • Magnetic-return support arm for easy specimen access and precise positioning
  • Quick-attach measurement heads supporting a wide array of gage lengths and strain ranges
  • Pass/fail calibration verification blocks and software calibration wizard to confirm setup to desired ASTM E83 or ISO 9513 class
  • Mounting options on left, right, front or back of load frame

1. Strain ranges assume a distance between the grips of twice the GL, with a centrally positioned gage. Actual strain ranges may be greater or less than these values, depending on gage positioning, grip separation and specimen behavior.

2. Maximum transverse GL and tracking speed is quoted at a measurement rate of 100 Hz.

3. Resolution is based on typical lab performance.

4. For Class B-1, minimum specimen width for transverse gage lengths should be increased by 65%

Note: Working distance is 480 mm.

FULL PRODUCT INFORMATION

The LX Laser Extensometer Series

The family of LX Laser Extensometers are highly accurate, non-contact extensometers. They are ideal for fragile specimens, those susceptible to localized damage, and also specimens that release large amounts of stored energy during breaks. They will meet all the strain measuring needs of materials like plastics, rubber, films, fibers, textiles, and specimens not suited for contacting extensometry.  They use state of the art scanning technologies yet are very user-friendly to operate. And they can often out perform comparable video products. 
 
The LX measures extension or strain by scanning the specimen and detecting the location of reflective tape markings. As the marks move during the test, the laser tracks and records their exact position.
  • Selectable averaging of 2 to 512 scans
  • Measures the initial gage length of the specimen directly
  • Can measure strain simultaneously over three segments within the specimen’s gage length
  • Meets ASTM B1 extensometer classification (25 mm/1 in and longer gage length)
  • Measurements are updated 100 times per second.
  • Analog output port for closed loop strain control or for input to a data acquisition board, chart recorder, and so forth
  • Parallel beam design accommodates operation through chamber glass, a clear bath, water, and so forth
  • Certified for compliance with the Center for Devices and Radiological Health as a Class II product

FULL PRODUCT INFORMATION

Precise Performance

The MTS Advantage Optical Extensometer performance combines the latest in optical and algorithmic measurement techniques to deliver the high resolution, data rates and accuracy needed for uniaxial testing.

Resolution

<0.5 μm quasistatic
<2.5 μm dynamic
<0.1 μm creep; typical RMS resolution at typical settings. Resolution is a function of the optics and filter settings. 

Extensometer Accuracy Class

ISO 9513 Class 0,5 and ASTM E83 Class B-1 or better, typical, for gage lengths ≥10 mm

Real-time data rate: 300-3000 Hz

As a result, the MTS Advantage Optical Extensometer is equipped with the accuracy and fine resolution required to measure modulus, offset yield, stress-strain curves, and strain at failure for both low and high modulus materials.

Strain Measurement of Composites, Metals & Ceramics

The MTS AOX models with telecentric lenses are engineered to provide the accuracy and fine resolution required for testing high-modulus materials such as metals, composites, ceramics, and CMCs:

  • Equipped to measure modulus, offset yield, stress-strain curves, and strain at failure for all these materials
  • Typical resolution <0.5 μm quasistatic, <2.5 μm dynamic, <0.1 μm creep; typical RMS resolution at typical settings. Resolution is a function of the optics and filter settings. 
  • Extensometer Accuracy Class: ISO 9513 Class 0.5 and ASTM E83 Class B-1 or better, typical, for gage lengths ≥10 mm
  • Typical resolution at selected filter settings and rigid, well-aligned grips are recommended for these applications.

Strain Measurement of Plastics & Elastomers

The MTS AOX-500CE optics option can measure more than 1000% strain (500 mm field-of-view and 10 or 25 mm gage length):

  • Optics and data processing algorithms ensure that specimen marks are tracked even when their contrast is reduced due to specimen extension
  • Conventional entocentric lens – recommended for high elongation applications and for measuring strain values of ~2% or greater; suitable for smaller strains in some applications 

Strain Measurement of Foil, Wire & Polymer Films

Non-contact strain measurement is the best way, and sometimes the only way, to measure strain with delicate, fine, and thin specimens. Use the AOX extensometer to measure modulus, offset yield, stress-strain curves, and elongation to break with wire, metal foil, polymer film, high-modulus fibers, and polymer filaments:

  • Depending on the specimen’s total elongation, the MTS AOX-200CE can accommodate gage lengths between 10-180 mm 
  • Ultra-high camera resolution, real-time data rates up to 3000 Hz, and signal processing techniques provide high strain resolution and accuracy with the lowest noise.
