deflectometer/ strain gauge
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.

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.
