Strain Gauges Stress Analysis
Structures can, and do, fail. It’s critical to determine whether a specific object made from a particular material can carry a certain load. The cost of not acting is usually far higher than the cost of dealing with the problem earlier. Micro-Measurements have a complete portfolio of high performance Stress Analysis Strain Gauges. Micro-Measurements Product Catalogue has the products that are the result of decades of innovative development and expertise in the manufacture of resistive-foil sensors for high-precision strain measurement. Our products are used throughout the world - in the practice of stress measurements analysis. Micro-Measurements’ products are designed with meticulous attention to detail. We want the engineers who use our strain gauges to have all the products they need for optimum performance to achieve reliable, accurate data.
Advanced Sensors Technology
Micro Measurements produces a wide selection of Strain Gauges and Installation Accessories. Covering multiple Market sectors to serve the needs of OEM’s Transducer and Load Cell Manufacturers through to Consumer Electronics. Force and Torque sensing solutions - our product portfolio is designed to meet every demand. Micro-Measurements is proud to introduce an array of advanced solutions that go beyond the conventional strain gauge component level.
Installation Accessories
To ensure expert installation and performance of our state- of-the-art strain gauges and special sensors. Micro-Measurements offers a comprehensive selection of stress analysis accessories. Making accurate and reliable strain gauge measurements does not depend on the quality of the strain gauge alone. The gauge can perform to its fullest potential only if the installation is of comparable quality. To accomplish, this requires strict adherence to the recommended installation procedure, including use of the correct accessories tools and supplies. Our Accessories Range Covers: Surface Preparation, Adhesives, Installation Tools, Wires & Cables & Protective Coatings
Data Acquisition Systems
Micro-Measurements offers a comprehensive range of specialty instruments for data acquisition. With our instruments, you can capture fully corrected, accurate engineering-unit data with minimal effort. Our special-purpose equipment, backed by the expertise and knowledge of highly skilled engineers, complements strain gauge installation integrity and instrument calibration. Our Range of Products includes: - High Speed Data Loggers - Single Channel Devices - Portable Indicators - Multi Channel Systems High Bandwidth Signal Conditioners Embedded Analogue-to-Digital Converters Wireless Telemetry Inputs for other commonly used sensors, including load cells, displacement transducers, thermocouples and accelerometers
