DTC-A
For Materials Tests, with Overload Prevention Stopper
DTC-A displacement transducers can measure crack opening displacement of materials, complying with ASTM standard, etc. To measure crack opening displacement, bezels at both tips of a clip are hooked to crack edges. If crack edges are larg or bezels are not applicable, mounting tips are optionally available.
?? Sensor tip is designed in conformity with ASTM Standard.
?? Mounting tips are optionally available.
