Description/Abstract | A self-contained extensometer is described for rapid tension testing of multiple samples of rigid plastics with high accuracy over the entire range from zero load through fracture.^The instrument has high sensitivity and linearity; negligible friction, backlash and dead zone; a construction which permits installation after the specimen is located in the machine and which permits leaving the instrument on during fracture; and a design which averages the strain of the specimen. |
