VWS-2100 Embedment Strain Gauge
Particularly suitable for the long-term monitoring of concrete structures.
 |
Consists of two end flanges with a tensioned steel wire between them. As concrete undergoes strain, the end blocks will move and the tension in the wire changes. A vibrating wire readout generates voltage pulses in the magnet/coil at the centre of the gauge and measures the resonant frequency of vibration.
Applications:
 |
Driven and bored piles |
|
Tunnels and deep excavations |
|
Concrete Dams |
|
Mass concrete pours |
|
Building foundations |
|
Retaining Walls |
Features:
|
Reliable long-term performance and accuracy |
|
Rugged, suitable for demanding environments |
|
Not affected by long cable lengths |
|
Suitable for direct embedment in concrete |
|
Output resistant to electrical noise |
|
Thermally aged to minimise long term drift & calibration changes |
