Model ETB - Bolt Test Extensometer

Yield / Proof Testing of Bolts and Similar Tests

Bolt Proof Test Extensometer

Right Side View Left Side View Model ETB Mounted on Sample

 

 

Description

Model ETB is designed specifically for measuring yield and the low strain measurements typically found in proof testing bolts and similar samples.

The standard configuration allows testing bolt lengths from 25 mm (1.000") to 150 mm (6.000"). For testing longer bolts, extension beams are readily available.

Model ETB is easily attached to a sample via two replaceable, carbide conical points. It is designed to be self-supported and attach without the need of punch or centering marks.  The lower attachment arm assembly includes a zero adjustment thumb screw and a "break-away" lower attachment arm to prevent damage in the event of bolt failure.

Designed around our innovative and rugged crossed-flexure module, this model also features a durable, one-piece upper mount with built-in mechanical stops to ensure a long service life.

With a full bridge, 350 ohm, strain gaged design, model ETB is compatible with most test systems and signal conditioning electronics design for strain gage based transducers. Reliant can provide stand-alone electronics to allow the use of data acquisition boards (DAQ), chart recorders or other test equipment.

Features
  • May be used through specimen failure.
  • 350 ohm, full bridge strain gaged design to ensure compatibility with most any test system.
  • Designed for general measurement of displacement and cyclic / dynamic testing.
  • Built-in mechanical over-travel stops and a break-away lower arm.
  • Rugged, optimized, dual flexure design for strength and improved performance.
  • Meets ASTM E83 and ISO 9513 standards.
  • High and low temperature options extend operation range from -270°C to +200 °C (-454 °F to +400 °F).
Options
  • Connectors to interface to nearly any brand of test equipment.
  • Gage length extension beams available for testing bolts greater than 150 mm (6.000") long.
  • Stand alone signal conditioners for use with DAQ boards.
Specifications

Excitation: 5 to 10 VDC recommended, 12 VDC or VAC max.
