Elongation Definition
If you intend to use the strain (elongation) feature of the Pro-Tester
important to understand both the definition of this feature/function and how it is intended
to be used. Proper understanding requires the definition of some basic terms. These
terms are defined below.
a. Grip Separation (GS): The distance between the grip point on each of the left and
right sample grip assemblies (refer to Figure 5.5). There are two user settable
distances, A or B, which have been factory set for 1.7 and 3.5 inches respectively.
The operator must be aware of these values and change the settings if necessary (refer
to Section 5.5) to accommodate the particular sample to be tested.
b. Weld Extrusion (Squeeze-out): The area of a weld whereupon becoming molten the
parent material extrudes (is squeezed) out from between the pressure zone of the
welding tool and then cools. This extruded material does not usually provide an
acceptable bond of the parent material and should not be considered part of the weld
(refer to Figure 6C).
