One-sentence conclusion: when choosing a video extensometer, first confirm the accuracy class meets the GB/T12160/ISO9513 class 0.5 requirement, then filter item by item against specimen type, strain range, temperature environment and testing machine compatibility. If you want one device covering metal, rubber, films a...

When choosing a DIC system, do not look at a single parameter only; judge comprehensively by test object, field of view, deformation magnitude, temperature environment, sampling needs and data analysis methods. Different scenarios have different requirements.

Strain gauges are common tools in material testing, suitable for local strain data. But for complex structures, non-uniform materials, large-deformation specimens and multi-area analysis, they provide only limited measuring points and can hardly reflect the overall deformation state.

The Haytham single-camera 3D DIC system is a vision measurement system for material mechanics and structural deformation testing. Through monocular vision and DIC algorithms, it acquires 3D topography, displacement and strain data of the specimen surface, suitable for various complex testing scenarios.

In mechanical testing of materials, traditional measurement relies on strain gauges, extensometers or displacement sensors. These obtain local data, but with non-uniform deformation, local strain concentration, crack propagation or complex failure, single-point measurement often fails to reflect the true state.

The Haytham DIC system is a non-contact full-field deformation measurement system based on digital image correlation, mainly for material mechanical testing, structural deformation analysis, complex-condition experiments and R&D verification. Its core principle is tracking the displacement changes of speckles or featur...

When choosing a video extensometer, do not look only at appearance or a single accuracy indicator; judge comprehensively by specimen type, test environment, deformation range and data output needs. A suitable video extensometer should simultaneously satisfy accuracy, stability, usability and scenario adaptability.
