Concrete Compressometer / Extensometers

The Compressometer in that they measure average deformation and strain of concrete cylinders during compression testing for determination of modulus of elasticity. In addition, a third center yoke attaches to the specimen to measure horizontal extension. This allows a combined determination of both modulus of elasticity and Poisson’s ratio. A second mechanical dial or digital indicator between yoke segments measures the transverse deformation simultaneously. Mechanical dial indicators measure specimen deformation. Models for 50×100 ,100×200 and 150 x 300mm concrete cylinders are available. Yokes are made of lightweight aluminum, the other parts are cadmium-plated steel.
