Method for determining an extension of an object by means of an extensometer and extensometer for performing the method

摘要

A method for determining an extension of an object with an extensometer, and an extensometer for performing the method, include two legs being movable in a spreading plane and each having one end connected to a joint and another end connected to the object, with the extension spreading the legs apart. The spreading plane is oriented approximately parallel to a surface of the object between the other ends of the legs. Foot-plates, each being carried by a respective one of the legs, being oriented in the spreading plane and having a region projecting beyond the other ends of the legs, are fastened to the object at the region.
