Model 3560 Bi-Axial and Axial Averaging Extensometers

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and features of the Model 3560 extensometers, which are designed for measuring axial and transverse strains in materials testing. These devices are particularly suited for testing anisotropic materials and determining Poisson's ratio.

Specifications:

Excitation: 5 to 10 VDC recommended, with a maximum of 12 VDC or VAC.
Output: 2 to 4 mV/V, depending on the model.
Linearity: ≤0.15% of full scale measuring range.
Temperature Range: Standard (-ST) is -40 °C to +100 °C.
Specimen Size: Compatible with samples 0.1 to 1 inch in width or diameter.
Operating Force: 30 to 50 g typical.
Crosstalk: Less than 0.5%.

Features:

Rugged design with dual flexures and mechanical stops for durability.
Full bridge, 350 ohm strain gaged design for broad compatibility.
Meets ASTM class B-1 and ISO 9513, class 0.5 accuracy requirements.
Self-supporting on the specimen with high accuracy and minimal crosstalk.
Includes a high-quality foam-lined case and spare tool steel knife edges.

Options:

Connectors for various test equipment brands.
Shunt calibration module and specialty knife edges available.

Ordering Information: The Model 3560 is available in various configurations, including different gage lengths, measuring ranges, and temperature ranges. Example configuration: 3560-BIA-010M-010-HT2.

Model Variants:

Model 3560-AVG: Measures axial strain only, with options for dual independent outputs.
Model 3560-BIA: Measures both averaged axial strain and transverse strain, with options for dual independent axial readings.

Applications: Suitable for testing advanced composites and general-purpose tests. Compatible with electronics designed for strain gaged transducers, often connected to test machine controllers.
