EXTENSOMETER

An Extensometer is a device that is used to

measure changes in the length of an object

It is useful for stress-strain measurements

and tensile test
 Optical Extensometer
• The optical Extensometer is a robust and extremely
accurate fiber-optic displacement transducer

• Its compact design allows it to measure a wide

range of length changes and displacements
of upto 5 mm.

• The optical Extensometer registers these mechanical

variables with a sensing head and converts them
internally into optical signals
 Technical specifications
• Measuring frequency: Upto 100 Hz
• Measuring path: 5mm
• Measuring range: 0.1m to 10m
• Resolution:0.001mm
• Service life: > 20 years
Application of Optical
Extensometer
• Extensometer on a wooden structure
Extensometer as a fissure monitor
Extensometer as a probe on a steel
structure.
