FAQ – X-Sight Video Extensometers

Een video extensometer is een optisch meetsysteem dat rek en verplaatsing contactloos meet met behulp van camera’s en beeldanalyse. Dit voorkomt beïnvloeding van het teststuk en verhoogt de meetnauwkeurigheid.

They are used for material testing such as:

  • Tensile tests
  • Compression tests
  • Bending, torsion, and fatigue tests

They are suitable for both research and industrial quality control applications.

Contactless measurement:

  • Avoids influencing the specimen
  • Improves accuracy and repeatability
  • Enables testing of delicate or small samples

X-Sight offers several systems:

  • 2000 Series: for general applications
  • 4000 Series: for larger fields of view
  • 4000-D: dual-camera for larger specimens
  • 4000-3D: stereoscopic for 3D measurements
  • ST: high precision and high-temperature applications
  • Single-camera: suitable for standard testing
  • Dual-camera (4000-D): larger measurement range, ideal for long specimens
  • 3D systems: measure out-of-plane motion and complex deformations

X-Sight systems comply with international standards such as:

  • ISO 9513 (Class 0.5 / 1)
  • ASTM E83 and ISO 6892

This ensures high accuracy and reliability for industrial testing.
