As the premier extensometer solution, the AVE3 is unrivaled in versatility — offering precision strain measurement down to 1 micron accuracy for tensile, compression, and bend testing. Delivering unparalleled flexibility, the AVE3 can be used for everything — small to large gauge lengths, low to high elongations, sensitive materials like films, explosive failures of composites, and even non-ambient testing in a chamber or a fluid bath. The AVE3's compliance with ISO 9513 and ASTM E83 means you can reliably test to any standard with one device, eliminating the need to purchase and maintain multiple clip-on devices.
The AVE3 can measure both modulus and strain to failure for almost any application, including static tensile, flexure, and compressive testing for flat and round specimens. Measurements can be collected at ambient conditions or at high and low temperatures when using environmental chambers or fluid baths. Whether you're testing plastics, metals, composites, textiles, films, foils, elastomers, paper, components, or biomaterials, the AVE3 offers the versatility to meet evolving testing demands and the following standards.
