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
