An extensometer structure for an extensometer includes a first extension arm, a second extension arm and a rigid support. A first hinge assembly joins the first extension arm to the rigid support. The first hinge assembly has a first pivot axis that allows the first extension arm to pivot relative to the rigid support about the pivot axis. A second hinge assembly joins the second extension arm to the rigid support. The second hinge assembly has a second pivot axis allowing the second extension arm to pivot relative to the rigid support about the second pivot axis.
