About Lateral Extensometer
This is for determining the lateral extension of 150 mm dia x 300 mm high cement concrete cylinders while testing them under compression. The unit consists of two movable frames pivoted at one end. The extensometer is fixed to the specimen with the help of tightening screws. The lateral extension is indicated on a dial gauge which is mounted on the upper ring and the tip of the dial gauge rests on an anvil. The zero on the dial gauge can be set by adjusting the anvil screw. Supplied in a wooden carrying case.
