Advanced Video Extensometer As Instron’s premier extensometer solution, the AVE3 is unrivaled in versatility – offering precision strain measurement for tensile, compression, and bend testing. Delivering unparalleled flexibility, the AVE3 can be used for testing small to large gauge lengths, low to high elongations, flat and round specimens, and sensitive materials like films – eliminating the need to purchase and maintain multiple clip-on devices. It’s even compatible with temperature chambers and fluid baths for non-ambient applications. As a non-contacting solution, there’s no cumbersome attachment step prior to testing, and strain can be tracked through failure without risking damage to the device, even when testing explosive failures of composites. The AVE3’s compliance to ISO 9513 and ASTM E83, paired with its real-time 500 Hz data rate, allows you to test to the most stringent standards. ROBUST IN ANY ENVIRONMENT Eliminating Environmental Influences Reducing Strain Variability Did you know that the environmental conditions in your lab create air disturbances that negatively impact your test data? The optical experts at Instron identified areas that introduce noise to the strain signal and designed the AVE3 to produce consistent strain data without the need for extensive filtering. The AVE3 uses patent-pending Constant Density Air Tunnel (CDAT) technology that mitigates thermal and environmental effects on your strain data. This technology shields your strain signal from environmentally induced noise for improved accuracy in real-time, allowing you to perform tests in strain rate control. While contacting extensometers offer accurate strain measurement, they can have an adverse effect on results due to operator variability, knife edge slippage on the specimen, or premature breaks at the knife edges. With contacting devices, you also have to account for wear on moving parts and be mindful to remove the device before break to avoid damage. As a non-contacting solution, the AVE3 removes operator influence from your strain data – delivering more consistent strain results across all yo
