Scope1.1 This practice covers procedures for the verification a

3、ndclassification of extensometer systems, but it is not intended tobe a complete purchase specification. The practice is applicableonly to instruments that indicate or record values that areproportional to changes in length corresponding to eithertensile or compressive strain. Extensometer systems a

4、re clas-sified on the basis of the magnitude of their errors.1.2 Because strain is a dimensionless quantity, this docu-ment can be used for extensometers based on either SI or UScustomary units of displacement.NOTE 1Bonded resistance strain gauges directly bonded to a speci-men cannot be calibrated

5、or verified with the apparatus described in thispractice for the verification of extensometers having definite gauge points.(See procedures as described in Test Methods E251.)1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Verificati

23、on Apparatus4.1 The apparatus for verifying extensometer systems shallprovide a means for applying controlled displacements to asimulated specimen and for measuring these displacementsaccurately. It may consist of a rigid frame, suitable coaxialspindles, or other fixtures to accommodate the extensom

24、eterbeing verified, a mechanism for moving one spindle or fixtureaxially with respect to the other, and a means for measuringaccurately the change in length so produced,3or any otherdevice or mechanism that will accomplish the purpose equallywell. The mechanism provided for moving one spindle relati

25、veto the other shall permit sensitive adjustments. The changes inlength shall be measured, for example, by means of aninterferometer, calibrated standard gauge blocks and an indi-cator, a calibrated micrometer screw, or a calibrated lasermeasurement system. If standard gauge blocks and an indica-tor

26、, or a micrometer screw, are used, they shall be calibratedand their limits of accuracy and sensitivity stated. The errors ofthe verification apparatus shall not exceed one third of thepermissible error of the extensometer.4.2 The verification apparatus shall be calibrated at intervalsnot to exceed

27、two years.NOTE 2He-Ne laser interferometer measurement systems based onthe 0.633 m wavelength line are considered to be primary-baseddisplacement standards and do not require recalibration.44.3 If the verification apparatus is to be used to verifyextensometers used for bidirectional tests, the error

28、s of theverification apparatus should be measured in both directions oftravel so as to include any backlash present.5. Verification Procedure for Extensometer Systems5.1 General RequirementsThe verification of an exten-someter system should not be done unless the components ofthe system are in good

29、working condition. Thoroughly inspectall parts associated with smooth operation of the instrument toensure there are no excessively worn components. Repair orreplace parts as necessary. Remove any dirt particles whichmay have accumulated through normal use of the instrument.Verification of the syste

30、m shall be performed whenever partsare interchanged or replaced.5.1.1 The verification of an extensometer system refers to aspecific extensometer used with a specific readout device.Unless it can be demonstrated that autographic extensometersand recorders of a given type may be used interchangeablyw

31、ithout introducing errors that would affect the classificationof the extensometer, the extensometer shall be calibrated withthe readout device with which it is to be used.5.1.2 Prior to the initial verification, the extensometershould be calibrated according to the manufacturers instruc-tions or est

32、ablished procedures. The calibration procedure mayinclude adjustment of span or determination of calibrationfactor, or both.5.2 Gauge Length Measurement MethodMeasure thegauge length of self-setting instruments by either the direct orindirect method.NOTE 3The following is an example of an indirect m

33、ethod. Set theextensometer to its starting position and mount it on a soft rod of thetypical specimen size or diameter. After the extensometer is removed,measure the distance between the marks left by the gauge points (or knifeedges). If there are four or more gauge points, take the average of thein

34、dividual lengths as the gauge length. The differences between individualmeasurements shall not exceed the tolerance given for the class ofextensometer. If there are two gauge points (or knife edges), but onopposite sides of the specimen, attach the extensometer twice rotating it180 with respect to t

35、he rod. Take the average of the lengths thusestablished on each side of the rod as the gauge length.5.2.1 Make two measurements of the gauge length. Deter-mine and record the error from each measurement, which is thedifference between the measured gauge length and the speci-fied gauge length, expres

36、sed as a percent of the specified gaugelength.5.2.2 For extensometer devices that do not have a self-setting gauge length during use, such as deflectometers and3A review of some past, current, and possible future methods for calibratingstrain measuring devices is given in the paper by Watson, R. B.,

38、ained by requestingResearch Report RR: E28-1013.E83 10a2some high-temperature tensile or creep extensometers, verifi-cation run errors should be calculated using the gauge lengthfor which the device is used. Separate classifications should beestablished for each gauge length or range used.5.2.3 Some

39、 extensometers have the capability to measurethe gauge length set by or chosen by the user. If thismeasurement is used in the calculation of strain, then it is theinherent measurement accuracy that is the important factorrather than the error between the chosen length and the actual.NOTE 4An example

40、 of an extensometer that is described by 5.2.3 isan optical extensometer that measures the position of “flags” attached tothe test specimen. The flags are positioned at the approximate requiredgauge length and the instrument measures the position of the flags (theactual gauge length) before and afte

41、r the specimen is stressed. Althoughthis kind of device usually has a stated accuracy of gauge length, it mustbe verified by either direct or indirect methods at the appropriate gaugelengths.5.3 Position of ExtensometerCarefully position the exten-someter on or interface it to the verification devic

42、e in the samemanner as it is normally used for typical specimens. Forextensometers that attach directly to the specimen, the verifi-cation device should allow attachment to pieces that are similarto the specimen on which the extensometer will be attached.5.4 Temperature ControlVerify the extensomete

43、r at ap-proximately the same temperature at which it will be used.Allow sufficient time for the verification device and extensom-eter to reach satisfactory temperature stability. Maintain tem-perature stability by excluding drafts throughout the subse-quent verification. Record the temperature durin

44、g eachverification run.NOTE 5Extensometers used for high-temperature testing may beverified at ambient temperature to insure proper operation, but fixturesshould be designed to verify performance at the actual test temperature.This is especially true with optical extensometers which may be adversely

45、affected by air density changes associated with thermal gradients andturbulence, environmental chamber windows, or specimen changes due tothe environment. See Appendix X2.5.5 Method of ReadingRead the instrument or, in the caseof an autographic extensometer, measure the record in the samemanner as d

46、uring use.5.5.1 For extensometer with dial micrometers or digitalreadouts, the readings shall be recorded. Extensometers thatuse autographic methods shall have their charts read andrecorded using a suitable measuring device, such as a vernieror dial caliper. The use of an optical magnifying device i

47、srecommended when reading and measuring autographicrecords.NOTE 6When autographic extensometer systems are used, careshould be taken to minimize errors introduced by variances in the graphpaper. These errors can be due to dimensional changes from reproductionor humidity changes. Direct measurement o

48、f the trace soon after it wasmade eliminates the graph paper errors and is desirable for systemsverification.NOTE 7If an extensometer is equipped with a dial micrometer, it maybe necessary to lightly tap the dial micrometer to minimize the effects offriction and to ensure that the most stable and re

49、producible readings areobtained. If the dial micrometer is tapped during the verification proce-dure, include this information in the report.5.6 Zero AdjustmentAfter temperature stability has beenachieved, displace the verification device (with extensometerin the test position) to a slightly negative value and return tozero. If the reading does not return to zero, adjust and repeatthe procedure until the reading does return to zero.5.7 Number of ReadingsFor any strain range, verify theextensometer system by applying at least five displacementva
