Total Elongation Calculator

Posted by Dinesh on

Online elongation (extensometer) calculator to calculate the percentage of total elongation at maximum force. The extensometer used shall have a gauge length of at least 100 mm. The gauge length shall be indicated in the test report.

This method consists of determining the extension at maximum force on the force-extension curve obtained with an extensometer.

The percentage total elongation at maximum force, Agt, shall be calculated by using the formula: Agt = ΔLm / Le x 100.

Calculate Percentage of Total Elongation at Maximum Force

Extension at maximum force [ΔLm] :
Extensometer gauge length [Le]:
Agt :

Formula:

Agt = ( ΔLm / Le ) x 100

where,
  • Agt is percentage total elongation at maximum force
  • ΔLm is the extension at maximum force.
  • Le is the extensometer gauge length;
