Length Comparator

Length Comparator for precise measurement of length changes in 10in (254mm) cement, mortar, and concrete specimens, and includes an Invar Reference Bar for exact zeroing of the dial or digital indicator. Stationary and movable anvils fit HM-268 Gauge Studs cast into test specimens. Available models are equipped with either a dial or digital indicator mounted on a sturdy vertical support stand attached to a triangular base with an adjustable terminal and collar.

Designed to test specimens up to 4x4x10in (102x102x254mm) cross-section, but 1x1x10in (25x25x254mm) prisms are normal. Inquire for a special adapter and shorter Invar Reference Bar if 5in (127mm) long prism samples are tested.
