AirLock optical tunnel /furnace tunnel
“Seals the gap between system and furnace to minimize turbulence”
Hot-air turbulence occurs when temperature gradients between the furnace and ambient air create convective flow; the resulting density and refractive-index fluctuations distort the optical path, causing image waviness and apparent motion which is measured as fake strain. In high-temperature measurements this increases noise, reduces correlation quality, and lowers accuracy and repeatability—especially close to the furnace opening. Our AirLock tunnel forms a controlled air corridor between the system and the furnace, suppressing convection, thus minimizing heat shimmer and stabilizing the image for cleaner, more reliable data.
THERMO-MECHANICAL FATIGUE TESTING
- Ideal for Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue (TMF) experiments
- Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) testing
- Measurement up to 1800°C
- Precise non-contact strain measurement
Description
The HITEX is a professional optical extensometer optimized for high-temperature fatigue testing, accurately operating in environments from ambient temperatures up to 1800°C.
It is particularly suited for Thermo-Mechanical Fatigue (TMF) and Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) testing, enabling precise, non-contact strain measurement under cyclic loading. Together with the user-friendly Alpha DIC software, HITEX provides reliable measurement and evaluation of axial, torsional and combined deformation, making it ideal for demanding material testing at elevated and changing temperatures.
