DEVELOPMENT OF A STRAIN MEASURING STANDARD FOR TEMPERATURES UP TO 1370 DEGREES C.

Abstract

Progress in the development of an extensometer for use as a standard at temperatures up to 2500 F (1370 C) is reported. This extensometer is intended for use in evaluating remote reading strain gages. Systems that were considered for development are discussed. The design of a room-temperature pneumatic gage based upon tests of the active components is given. This design can be modifiedfor fabrication from heat-resistant ceramic materials. Auxilliary euipment that was designed and constructed to permit evaluation of the extensometer is described. (Author)
