The MMS and MMD Material Testing Systems are also compatible with a wide selection of extensometers that are ideal for applications where the sample’s mechanical properties make machine encoder measurement insufficient. These clip-on extensometers measure sample elongation and monitor strain over a precisely defined gauge length.
The MMS and MMD Series Testing Systems are compatible with miniature and long-travel axial extensometers, transverse extensometers and bi-axial extensometers. Extensometers provide precision strain measurement for accurate, precise and repeatable results.
Complementing the MMS and MMD Series are four types of load cell sensors, each with a measurement accuracy of better than 0.05 percent full scale and supplied with a calibration certificate traceable to NIST. Starrett offers sensors that are environmentally sealed; a “premium” style with a safe overload of 1000% of the rated capacity; and an “economy” style ideal for most general purpose applications.
Sensors can also be calibrated on-site by authorized Starrett service professionals in accordance to ASTM E4 and ISO 7500-1 procedures.
Starrett also supplies a full range of testing fixtures including platens, vise-action and wedge-action test fixtures, roller and scissor-style test fixtures, and pneumatically-actuated models for hands-free operation. MMD and MMS Material Testing Systems are the better solution to improving your testing and analysis capabilities, providing consistent, accurate results for years to come.
Founded and headquartered in 1880 in Athol, the L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision tools, gages and instruments, saws and hand tools. While best known for precision tools in the United States, Starrett is also a major, worldwide manufacturer of saw blade products.
Starrett products are sold throughout the United States and worldwide through distributors, dealers, and retailers and online. In recent years, the Company has broadened its product offering through acquisitions and innovative product line expansion. www.starrett.com
