The steel strand extensometer device is used to effectively measure its tiny displacement and deformation. The extensometer is mainly used to measure the degree and amount of deformation of metal materials after being stressed. The elastic deformation characteristics of the material under stress are used to convert the degree of deformation into an electrical signal output, thereby calculating the deformation amount to measure the deformation amount and stress-strain relationship of the material under different loads.
