Suited for use on any load testing system, Model 3549 is available for use to 1,600°C and mounts on included slide bracket. Gauge length is automatically set prior to mounting on test specimen, which allows for hot mounting after thermal equilibrium has been reached. User can set contact force against test specimen, allowing even and repeatable contact force while also limiting contact force induced errors. Design reduces influence from nominal external vibrations.
