Product Overview and Technological Applications
A 2D high-temperature video extensometer is a non-contact measurement device leveraging digital image correlation (2D-DIC) technology. Using a high-temperature camera and specialized optical protection, it captures the real-time deformation of a material specimen under extreme thermal conditions (from hundreds to thousands of degrees Celsius). The system employs image-processing algorithms to track speckle pattern or marker displacement, accurately calculating:

Strain distribution in X and Y directions

Full-field deformation

Thermal expansion coefficients

By circumventing the limitations of traditional contact extensometers, which are prone to thermal interference and installation constraints, this device ensures high-precision, dynamic, full-field strain measurement.

Key industrial applications include:

Aerospace: Analysis of turbine blade alloys, heat shields, and structural components under high thermal loads.

Energy Equipment Testing: Thermal-mechanical behavior of components in nuclear, power, and renewable energy systems.
