The ME-46 video extensometer offers a new non-contacting, highly accurate approach to extensometry with its use of a video camera and image processing software measuring specimen extension between gauge marks placed on the test piece.

The data processing gives a real time results display together with calculation of material properties such as r, n, Possion's Ratio, etc.

A multipoint version is now available for more detailed examination of specimen structure related to points marked across the test area.
