High Accuracy Elongation Measurements

The Shimadzu TRViewX not only far exceeds the measurement accuracy of conventional video type extensometers, but is also capable of width measurements. Furthermore, thanks to complete synchronization with TRAPEZIUMX testing machine software, the system provides the assist line functionality to simplify specimen mounting, specimen video recording, and other convenient (intelligent) functionality. Together with the adoption of a camera stand reflecting careful attention both to operability and design, this non-contact extensometer offers dramatically improved performance and ease of use. Since this is a non-contact system, it is suitable to measure thin films, foils and wires without damaging the specimens during the test. Even Measurements within a thermostatic chamber are also possible.

Can be used at room temperature as all as far measurements in thermostatic chambers
With an absolute accuracy ±1.5 μm, relative accuracy ±0.5 % compliant with ISO 9513 Class 0.5, JIS B7741 Class 0.5 at room temperature and an absolute accuracy ±3 μm, relative accuracy ±1.0 % compliant with ISO 9513 Class 1, JIS B7741 Class 1 in thermostatic chamber up to 320°C the TRVIEWX measures at the worldwide highest accuracy. Thanks to compatibility with gauge lengths of even 10 mm, small specimens can be measured Compatible with strain control using measurement value of extensometer and cycle loading tests.

Complete Synchronization with software
All operations from start to finish of the test can be controlled by the software Video saving during testing, S-S curve linked replay, and displays synchronized with point picking Still image report functionality, and image creation synchronized with testing results Assist line functionality assists with grip space adjustment, specimen mounting, and marker mounting.

Width Measurement Functionality Provided
With just one camera the TRViewX is already capable of simultaneous elongation and width measurements . With this Lankford value (r value), and Poisson’s ratio for films, foils and other thin specimens can be calculated in one step and without operating a further extensometer.

Select the Optimum Model to Suit Your Specimens
Meeting demands with a wide lineup featuring cameras with different fields of view Single Camera Model TRViewXS Series 55 to 240 mm field of view: Examine a specific area in detail (ISO/JIS Class 0.5 compatible) Maximum of 800 mm field of view: Even large elongation specimens can be measured. The ultimate system, simultaneously attaining high accuracy and a wide field of view Double Camera Model TRViewXD Series Small displacements are measured with a high accuracy camera, achieving ISO/JIS Class 0.5. During testing, the camera can switch to large displacement, and is capable of ISO/JIS Class 0.5 large field of view measurements.

Strain control compatibility
The system is compatible with strain control, to control testing speeds based on extensometer values. Thanks to the AG-X and AGS-X autotuning functionality, simple, high accuracy strain speed testing can be performed.
