The ideal extensometer for high-extension, highly elastic and contact-sensitive materials
The lightXtens extensometer is ideal for safe, reliable, accurate measurements during tensile tests on high-extension, highly elastic and contact-sensitive materials.
- Ideal for specimens displaying high fracture energy and prone to whipping at break and therefore likely to damage mechanical, contact-type measuring systems.
- lightXtens' robustness during testing and ease of operation make it an attractive alternative to video or laser-based extensometers.
- Satisfies the requirements of Accuracy Class 1 to ISO 9513 from 3 mm.
lightXtens is a non-contact extensometer for standardized testing situations. It is extremely easy to operate, with a fully automatic test sequence.
Typical applications
- Tensile tests on high-extension, highly elastic materials: rubber and elastomers (e.g. to ISO 37, ASTM D412, DIN 53504), natural rubber (latex), films (e.g. to ISO 527- 3, ASTM D882, ASTM D532), textiles (especially ropes, belts, industrial textiles).
- Tensile tests on specimens with large initial gage-length, e.g. wire ropes, litz wire.
- Specimens with high fracture energy and prone to whipping at break, which might damage mechanical, contact-type measuring systems.
