Provide a non-contact, video/optical-based extensometry system designed to perform high-resolution, non-contacting axial strain and displacement measurements. The system shall be suitable for testing high-modulus materials, high-elongation materials, thin or delicate specimens, or for strain-controlled testing. The system shall include the following features and/or minimum performance criteria • Field of View of at least 125mm • Capable of measuring at least 100% strain for an initial gauge length of 50mm • Accuracy ? 0.5% of elongation values up to 6mm, and ? 30 µm for any elongations over 6 mm • Resolution ? 0.5 µm • Stand-alone system with no PC software interaction required • Factory calibrated system that does not require calibration for each setup • No post-processing of imaging data required • Optics system that accounts for out-of-plane motion by using telecentricity • Illumination system requiring no additional external lighting • Laser alignment system for instrument alignment to specimen loading axis and calibrated working distance • Mounting hardware for Instron electromechanical test frames that includes rotational and translational adjustment for alignment to specimen loading axis and translational adjustment to calibrated working distance • Real-time output of engineering data scaled to high level (? 16 bit) analog output of +/- 10 VDC at rates ? 100 Hz • Adapter to connect and read output into Instron electromechanical test frames • Adapter to connect and read output into ADMET electromechanical test frames • Adapter to read output into generic voltage analog input devices and custom configurations • Continuous real-time output with no trigger required • Instrument user interface to control imaging parameters, output data filtering, units of measure for engineering data output, and output scaling parameters • Real-time live display reading of engineering data • If specimen markings are required, then a specimen marking kit with templates ranging from 10 to 50mm must be included • Destination Shipping Please send any questions or quotes to Susan Davis, susan.a.davis@usda.gov
