Vibrating Wire Surface Mount Strain Gauge is specifically designed for monitoring steel or concrete structures. These gauges can be mounted on structure surfaces or secured with epoxy adhesive. Mounting blocks can be used to fasten them to steel and concrete surfaces. Developed to be compatible with a wide range of structure types, this implies a broad range of applications.
Vibrating Wire Surface Mount Strain Gauge consists of two end blocks with a tensioned wire between them. Deformation on the structure surface causes movement in the two end blocks. This movement induces a change in the resonant frequency of the vibrating wire. This change is measured with high accuracy using a magnetic coil. The gauge is designed to withstand heavy-duty conditions and is resistant to water, impact, and pressure. All Vibrating Wire Sensors can be connected to remote monitoring systems or read with automatic data collection stations or handheld terminals
