The mechanical extensometer produced by Gibitre has been specifically developed for testing Rubber, Elastomers and Plastic samples and optimized to:
• measure high elongation that can be reached by rubber and thermoplastic specimens
• absorb the energy transmitted to the device at specimen break
• easily change the distance between the clamps (Reference Length) according to the type of specimen
• adjust the closing force of the tweezers at the base to the type of material to be tested.

Thickness meter with 0.001 mm Resolution for direct acquisition of sample thickness in compliance with ISO 23529 and ASTM D 3767 standards.
The device allows you to directly enter in the software the thickness, measured in several points, of the individual specimens and automatically calculate the Cross Section (average or minimum) to be used for calculating the results.
The calculation of the section is carried out on the basis of the calculation formula defined for the type of specimen in use.
The dial gauge tips are interchangeable according to the type of product.


Grips 
Wide range of grips for traction, compression, peeling, stress relaxation tests for standard or customer-defined tests.

• Prepare test procedures by defining the test conditions and the results to be produced
• Set tolerance limits for each product by manual insertion or using the statistical analysis (mean and standard deviation) of saved results
• Prepare multi-instrument test reports


Gibitre Standard SQL Database 
All the Gibitre programs use a database with SQL structure for saving the results.
The database can be installed inside an SQL instance present on the company server or it can be installed on a PC connected to a measuring instrument. The installation of the Microsoft SQL service (Express version) is included in the delivery.


Industry 4.0 integration 
The instrument and the software have been specifically developed to optimize integration with other environments.
