Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the Model 3742 clip-on extensometer by Epsilon Technology Corp. This extensometer is designed for fast, repeatable mounting to samples with automatic gauge length setting, eliminating the need for gauge pins. It is suitable for testing various materials in both tension and compression.
Specifications: The Model 3742 features automatic gauge length setting, a Quick-Swap gauge length system for rapid changes, and adjustable clamping force without tools. It is compatible with strain gaged transducers and can be connected to test machine controllers. The extensometer meets ASTM E83 class B-1 accuracy requirements and operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +100 °C, with options for other ranges.
Features: Key features include a rugged dual flexure design for strength, mechanical overtravel stops, replaceable knife edges, and compatibility with various test systems. It includes a quick attach kit for easy mounting and the Epsilon Shunt Calibration System for on-site calibration.
Applications: The extensometer is applicable for testing to standards such as ISO 6892-1 and ASTM E8, among others. It is suitable for laboratories requiring frequent specimen and gauge length changes, offering reduced setup time and consistent strain measurements.
Ordering Information: The document outlines available versions of the Model 3742, specifying that any number of gauge lengths can be ordered with one measuring range. It provides details on metric and U.S. gauge lengths, temperature ranges, and example configurations.

3742 Multi-Gauge Length Extensometer-1

3742 Automatic Gauge Length Extensometers NEW PRODUCT Clip-on extensometers featuring automatic gauge length setting for fast, repeatable mounting to samples — no gauge pins required. Switch gauge lengths in seconds using the new Quick-Swap gauge length system. Built for productivity with high precision. Mounting with 3742’s automatic gauge length mechanism Model 3742 with 25 mm gauge length and +25 mm / -5 mm measuring range The Model 3742 clip-on extensometer is designed for fast mounting and high testing efficiency. It is ideal for laboratories that require frequent specimen and gauge length changes, reduced setup time, and consistent, repeatable strain measurements. The 3742 is applicable for Model 3742 with 50 mm gauge length and testing a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, +25 mm / -5 mm measuring range composites, and ceramics, in both tension and compression. This model sets the gauge length automatically as the extensometer is mounted on the specimen. Gauge length pins are not required. Gauge lengths can be changed in seconds, without tools, using the 3742’s new Quick Swap gauge length system, and fine adjustments can be made to ensure that the gauge length remains within tolerance. Clamping force is easily adjusted without tools. The Model 3742 includes Epsilon’s quick attach kit as a standard feature, allowing the extensometer to be mounted quickly and easily. Model 3742 extensometers are strain gaged devices, making them compatible with any electronics designed for strain gaged transducers. Most often they are connected to a test machine controller with electronics for a strain channel, and Epsilon will equip the extensometer with a compatible connector wired to plug directly into the controller. For systems lacking the required electronics, Epsilon can provide a variety of solutions for signal conditioning and connection to data acquisition systems or other equipment. For gauge lengths not listed in the Ordering Information table, see models 3442, 3542, 3542L, and Epsilon ONE®.
