ASTM E83 Standard Practice for Verification and Classification of Extensometer Systems

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ASTM E83 testing. This application covers procedures for verifying and classifying extensometer systems but is not intended to be a complete purchasing specification.

The application is applicable only to instruments that display or record values ​​proportional to changes in length corresponding to tensile or compressive stress. Extensometer systems are classified according to the magnitude of their errors.

Since strain is a dimensionless quantity, this document can be used for extensometers based on conventional displacement units in SI or US.

This application covers procedures for verifying and classifying extensometer systems but is not intended to be a complete purchasing specification. The application is applicable only to instruments that display or record values ​​proportional to changes in length corresponding to tensile or compressive stress. Extensometer systems are classified according to the magnitude of their errors. Apparatus for validating extensometer systems must provide a means to apply controlled displacements to a simulated sample and to measure these displacements accurately.

This standard does not purport to address all safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
