32-CH 12-Bit 100 kS/s Isolated Analog Input Card
PCI-9113A
Analog Input Module
ADLINK PCI-9113A is a 32-CH, 12-bit, 100 kS/s isolated analog input card. The PCI-9113A provides analog inputs with 3 programmable input ranges for both bipolar and unipolar inputs. The 32-CH single-ended analog inputs can be converted to 16-CH differential analog inputs, which improve the noise rejection in harsh industrial environments. The analog inputs are isolated from the PC's system ground. This feature not only protects the PC from being damaged from surges on the signal lines, but also eliminates ground loops and common-mode problems commonly seen in industrial measurement applications. The PCI-9113A provides custom circuit area for input signal conditioning. Either signal attenuation or filtering can be applied on per channel basis. With all the features, ADLINK PCI-9113A delivers cost-effective and reliable data acquisition capabilities for ATE, sensor monitoring, data logging, power transmission, and a broad variety of industrial measurement applications.

Fracture Mechanics Clip-On Gages
Model 3541
-
Jinan Testing Equipment IE Corporation
The Model 3541 is designed for determination of fracture mechanics parameters such as JIC, KIC, R-curve, fatigue crack growth rate (da/dN), and testing to standards such as E1820, E399, E647, etc. These COD gages conform to the requirements of E1820 (the replacement for E813 and E1737) for JIC and R-curve determination. Special configurations are available to meet the requirements of ASTM E399 for fracture toughness (please consult the factory for these configurations). In addition, the modified groove design complies with E1820 tests where greater stability and accuracy results from the sharper groove root. Clip-on gages are used for a variety of fracture mechanics tests, including compact tension, arc shaped, disk shaped, bend specimens or other specimen geometries in compliance with ASTM and other standards organization’s test methods. Clip-on gages can be used directly on test specimens where the knife edges are integral with the test specimen or, alternately, with optional bolt-on knife edges mounted on the test specimen.The Model 3541 extensometers are strain gaged devices, making them compatible with any electronics designed for strain gaged transducers. Most often they are connected to a test machine controller. The signal conditioning electronics for the extensometer is typically included with the test machine controller or may often be added. In this case the extensometer is shipped with the proper connector and wiring to plug directly into the electronics. For systems lacking the required electronics, Epsilon can provide a variety of solutions, allowing the extensometer output to be connected to data acquisition boards, chart recorders or other equipment.

Extensometers for Indirect Tensile Testing of Asphalt
Model 3911
-
Jinan Testing Equipment IE Corporation
For indirect tensile testing, such as for resilient modulus, these extensometers measure the lateral deformation of specimens. They are self-supporting on the sample and clip on in seconds. The traditional way this deformation has been measured was prone to errors caused by slight rocking of the sample as it is loaded. The self-supporting design of the Model 3911 eliminates this problem. This unit will handle the dynamic pulse requirements of resilient modulus testing.The speed of mounting makes test set-up much faster than with the older method. The pivot mounting used ensures that the specimen contact pads meet the often uneven asphalt surface as well as possible. The measuring range options available allow a wide range of testing, yet can easily measure the sometimes very small displacements required.The Model 3911 extensometers are strain gaged devices, making them compatible with any electronics designed for strain gaged transducers. Most often they are connected to a test machine controller. The signal conditioning electronics for the extensometer is typically included with the test machine controller or may often be added. In this case the extensometer is shipped with the proper connector and wiring to plug directly into the electronics. For systems lacking the required electronics, Epsilon can provide a variety of solutions, allowing the extensometer output to be connected to data acquisition boards, chart recorders or other equipment.
