Description

This equipment is for the determination of lateral extension of 150 mm dia x 300 mm high cement concrete cylinders while testing them in compression. The extensometer consists of two movable frames pivoted at one end. A dial gauge measures the lateral extension, and a removable spacer strip is for the initial setting of the dial gauge.

The extensometer is fixed to the specimen with the help of tightening screws. The lateral extension is indicated on a dial gauge which is mounted on the upper ring and the tip of the dial gauge rests on an anvil. The zero on the dial gauge can be set by adjusting the anvil screw.  It is Supplied complete, with a dial gauge.
