Fracture Mechanics Crack Opening Displacement (COD) Gages Series 3541
Features
-
May be left on through specimen failure.
-
Full bridge, 350 ohm strain gaged design for compatibility with nearly any test system.
-
Fully enclosed gages are protected from accidental damage.
-
Sharp grooves per ASTM E1820, E813, and E399 for improved stability when mounted.
-
For da/dN testing or pre-cracking, where maximum frequency (>50 Hz) is required, minimum measuring ranges are recommended.
-
For KIC/JIC testing, maximum accuracy is achieved with the smallest measuring range and the largest gauge length that will perform the test.
-
Maximum operating frequency may be from 5 Hz to >200 Hz depending on COD gage and test apparatus configurations.
-
Option for Shunt Calibration System for on-site electrical calibration.
-
Includes high quality foam lined case.
