New Product Guide Available

Epsilon Technology has recently published a guide to assist in the purchasing of both Axial and High temperature extensometers.   This guide provides an easy to read comparison of the primary features of each extensometer.  These guides will now be included with our catalog.  If you would like to receive a guide, please visit our website at http://epsilontech.com/feedback.htm  and request a catalog or comment that you only want a guide. 

A significant advancement in externally mounted, furnace extensometers.

Introducing Epsilon’s newest Model:  The 3549 High Temperature Hot Mountable Furnace Extensometer.    The 3549 introduces many new and innovative features that help improve productivity, ease of use, and accuracy with both static testing applications (tension and compression testing) and long term testing (low cycle fatigue and creep). The overall design significantly reduces any influence from normal external vibrations. The gauge length for the 3549 is automatically set prior to mounting on the test specimen, which allows for hot mounting after thermal equilibrium has been reached.  This unit also incorporates a new feature that allows the user to precisely set the contact force against the test specimen. This allows for even and repeatable contact force, limiting contact force induced errors. This extensometer mounts on a slide bracket (included) that can attach to the load frame of your test system.  Mounting brackets may be integrated with the furnace cut-out, and Epsilon can also provide load frame mounting brackets to fit your test frame.  This new extensometer is designed to meet the stringent requirements of strain-controlled testing as prescribed in ISO 6892.  It has temperature options available for use to 1600 °C.  The Model 3549 extensometers can be used on any load testing systems.  This model replaces  the 3548 and 3548HI .  For more information:  http://www.epsilontech.com/3549.htm

Mounting the Model 3448 Self-Supporting, Axial Furnace Extensometer

The following video provides a visual demonstration of mounting the 3448 self-supporting, axial, furnace extensometer to a test specimen.

The model 3448 extensometers are held onto the specimen by light, flexible ceramic fiber cords. These allow the extensometer to support itself on the specimen so that no furnace mounting brackets are required. The side load on the test sample is greatly reduced because of the self-supporting design and light weight of the sensor. Most materials testing furnaces with a side cut-out for an extensometer will readily accept a Model 3448. For induction heating systems, a different ceramic cord placement allows the extensometer to easily pass between the coils.

High purity alumina (min 99.7%) ceramic rods are used with this model. These are available in lengths as required to fit your furnace. A spare set is included with every extensometer. Specify chisel (round and flat specimens), vee chisel (round specimens) or conical contact points (flat specimens) as desired. Most units operate equally well in tension and compression. Thus tensile, compression and cyclic tests like low cycle fatigue can all be performed with a single unit.
