WHAT DOES EXTENSOMETER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

extensometer

Extensometer

An extensometer is a device that is used to measure changes in the length of an object. It is useful for stress-strain measurements and tensile tests. Its name comes from "extension-meter". It was invented by Dr. Charles Huston who described it in an article in the Journal of the Franklin Institute in 1879. Huston later gave the rights to Fairbanks & Ewing, a major manufacturer of testing machines and scales.

Definition of extensometer in the English dictionary

The definition of extensometer in the dictionary is an apparatus for studying small changes of length, as in the thermal expansion or mechanical compression of a solid.
