deflectometer/ strain gauge Explanation: deflectometer measures surface deflection. Four different dictionaries confirmed it. Corriere della sera, Garzanti, Oxford, Hoepli but when I look on Wikipedia it states it's for civic engineering applications...hence my medium confidence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflectometer http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.sacom.net/... http://www.garzantilinguistica.it/it/traduzione/en/cerca?q=f... Extensiometer measures longitudinal stretch/strain Strain gauge is used to indicate instruments that measure a variety of things, including deflection and displacement resistance. This site has all sorts of gauges in italian, english, german etc. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://img.directindu... |
