Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical property testing technology of metallic materials, specifically relating to a device for measuring the gauge length of a tensile specimen after fracture. Background Technology
[0002] Mechanical properties of metallic materials are a key delivery condition for steel products. Among these, elongation at fracture of tensile specimens is a crucial test item and plasticity indicator, requiring accurate, rapid, and consistent testing methods to minimize human error. In GB / T 228, the tensile test method, elongation at fracture is defined as the percentage of residual elongation of the gauge length after fracture to the original gauge length. Therefore, the accuracy of elongation at fracture depends on measuring the gauge length after fracture. The key to determining the gauge length is to tightly join the two fractured parts of the specimen together at room temperature, ensuring their axes are aligned, and then measure the gauge length using calipers. Common methods for measuring gauge length include: measuring long samples on a platform using calipers, and measuring short samples by holding the stretched sample in one hand and measuring with calipers in the other, recording the result manually. However, this method is prone to problems such as misalignment of the fracture surfaces, shaking, slippage, and misalignment of the two sections, significantly impacting the measurement results.
[0003] In view of the above factors, a device for measuring the gauge length of a tensile specimen after fracture is provided. It can ensure rapid clamping of the specimen, accurate alignment of the specimen fracture surfaces and the alignment of the axes, and accurate measurement. It features simple structure, convenient use, safe operation, accurate measurement results, and high work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0032] The measuring device 2 also includes a moving component 23 on which a circular or plate-shaped tensile specimen is detachably mounted.
[0033] In use, the positioning platform 1 is equipped with several measuring devices 2. The slide rail 23A of the moving component 23 on each measuring device 2 is set with different lengths, which can be used for multiple groups to achieve simultaneous operation. The measuring device 2 cooperates with the positioning block on the positioning platform. The positioning block cooperates with the base 21 of the U-shaped groove structure and is fixed by pins, and can be disassembled.

The measuring ruler 24 is bolted to an L-shaped positioning plate 25 on both sides, and the positioning plate 25 is detachably connected to the frame structure 22.
[0035] To facilitate control of the positioning plate's height position on the frame structure via bolt connection during use, the positioning plate 25 is symmetrically arranged on the frame structure 22, and the positioning plate 25 is detachably connected to the frame structure 22 via bolt connection; the positioning plate 25 can move on the symmetrical frame structure 22 and be fixed by bolts.
[0036] A waist-shaped hole is provided on the frame structure 22 to cooperate with the positioning plate 25 and is fixed by bolts.
[0037] The above-mentioned positioning plate cooperates with the frame structure to adjust the height of the measuring ruler according to the size and shape of the tensile sample, so that the measuring head can be accurately aligned with the marked points on the sample.
