MTS Systems
Air Cooled High Temperature Extensometers
These air-cooled high-temperature extensometers are designed for measuring axial strain in high temperature tension, compression, and through-zero fatigue testing applications up to 1200°C…
MTS Systems
From complex thermomechanical fatigue studies to standard tension and compression tests, MTS Landmark systems deliver accurate, repeatable results. Robustly manufactured with SureCoat® technology that extends actuator rod longevity 10x over conventionally chrome-plated rods, these systems will perform reliably for years.
