The compressometer / extensometer for static Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson’s Ratio is a device for measuring the longitudinal strain and corresponding diametrical strain of dia.150x300mm and dia.100x200 mm concrete cylinders, or core, subjected to axial loading. It works by measuring the relative displacement of datum points on the cylinder surface.

The models fitted with displacement transducers can be connected to a suitable data logger or, directly to our Automatic control consoles Multitest which can provide cyclic loading and automatic determination of the Modulus of Elasticity.

Main Features:

Suitable for dia.150x300mm (6"x12") and dia.100x200mm (4"x8") cylinders.

Easy and quick application to the specimen.

Ideal for axial deformation and diametrical extension measurement.

Two different types of measuring systems are available: digital dial gauges or high precision displacement transducers LDT type.
