The perfect extensometer for specimens with small to medium extensions

The videoXtens 1-120 is a non-contact, camera based extensometer for specimens with small to medium extensions, such as sheet metals, plastics or geotextiles.

  • Minimal operator influence and easy operation: the complete system is optimally configured for these applications; no additional lens adjustments are necessary and scale settings are retained.
  • No influence on specimens: thin metal sheets or metal foils are sensitive to contact, making the non-contact videoXtens the ideal solution. It does not influence the material characteristics.
  • Unique: through connection to the crosshead, the gauge marks are always automatically centered in the field of view and the measurement range is optimally utilized. Extensions outside the measurement length do not limit the measurement range.

Typical application videoXtens 1-120

Typical application videoXtens 1-120

ISO 527-1 without tensile modulus determination
Testing of sheet metals A50 or A80 to ISO 6892
Tensile test on geotextiles / geogrids to DIN EN ISO 10319

ISO 527-1 without tensile modulus determination

Specific advantages in this application

  • Simple, compact system for determination of strain at yield stress (curve types b & c).
  • Even brittle-fracturing plastics specimens can be tested without damaging the extensometer.

Testing of sheet metals A50 or A80 to ISO 6892

  • Method B or A2, without r-value determination
  • e.g. for determination of Rp0.2, Ag, A

Specific advantages in this application

  • Compact system for easy testing to standard - with total absence of specimen contact
  • No influence on specimens: thin metal sheets or metal foils are sensitive to contact, making the non-contact videoXtens the ideal solution. It has no influence on material characteristic values.

Tensile test on geotextiles / geogrids to DIN EN ISO 10319

  • videoXtens can measure extremely wide specimens. As videoXtens is non-contacting specimens width is irrelevant.
  • Even specimens prone to whipping can be tested without damaging the extensometer.
  • Pattern recognition eliminates the need for specimen marking.
  • Modulus values can also be determined in the initial range, e.g. gradient at x% strain.
