ESE-128- Longitudinal Compressometer

The Longitudinal Compressometer is a precision instrument used in material testing to measure the longitudinal strain (or deformation) of materials when subjected to compressive loads. It is commonly used to assess the behavior of concrete, soil, and other construction materials under stress, providing crucial data for structural analysis, quality control, and material performance evaluation. This device is particularly effective in determining how materials respond to compression and is widely used in laboratory testing for civil engineering applications, such as the testing of concrete cylinders or beams under load.

The Longitudinal Compressometer consists of a high-precision gauge or sensor that is attached along the longitudinal axis of a sample. As the sample undergoes compression, the compressometer measures the changes in length, providing a direct reading of the material’s strain. The device often includes a digital display for easy reading of measurements, and some models may feature data storage or connectivity options for recording and analysis.

Key Features:

1. Precise Measurement of Strain: Accurately measures the longitudinal strain of materials during compressive testing, providing valuable insights into their behavior under load.
2. High Sensitivity: Equipped with sensitive strain gauges or sensors that detect even small deformations, ensuring precise data capture for accurate analysis.
3. Digital Display (Optional): Many models come with a digital display that makes it easy to monitor and record measurements in real time, offering improved convenience over traditional analog devices.
4. Durable Construction: Built from high-quality materials, such as stainless steel, to ensure long-lasting performance even under heavy-duty testing conditions.
5. Versatile Application: Suitable for testing a wide range of materials, including concrete, metals, and composites, making it ideal for various civil engineering and material science applications.
6. Easy Installation and Setup: Designed for quick and straightforward attachment to the test specimen, minimizing setup time and allowing for more efficient testing.
