  Coaxial electronic extensometer for round specimens from 5 to 11.5 mm dia.
• 70-C0961/B1
  Coaxial electronic extensometer for round specimens from 11 to 18 mm dia.
• 70-C0961/C1
  Coaxial electronic extensometer for round specimens from 17.5 to 26 mm dia.

Universal extensometers

• 70-C0954/C
  Universal electronic extensometer, measuring base 50 to 200 mm. Complete with case.

FOR CONCRETE COMPRESSION TESTING

• 70-S0012/1
  Set of lower platen and upper platen with spherical seat, 216 mm dia., for testing cylinders up to dia. 160x320 mm and cubes from 100 to 150 mm. To be completed with the suitable distance pieces depending on the specimen height.
  ​Weight approx.: 45 kg

Distance pieces
Made of steel, these pieces are used to reduce the vertical clearance of the compression machine to a height that is appropriate for the size of the specimen and considering that, in general, the maximum piston travel is 150 mm.
