What Is the Demountable Mechanical Strain Gauge Used For?
Strain in a concrete member, whether from load, shrinkage, creep or temperature, can be followed over long periods by measuring the distance between pairs of small datum discs fixed to its surface. The discs are stuck on with the adhesive compound at the 100 mm or 300 mm spacing of the chosen gauge, and the gauge, checked first against the standard and calibration bars, is seated on each pair in turn to read the distance digitally. Because the gauge is taken off between readings, one instrument serves many points, and readings can be sent to a PC. The method also works on steel and other structures. The standard listed for it is BS 1881:206.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of strain gauge sets required.
- Measuring base — the 100 mm or the 300 mm model, both with 5 mm range.
- PC cable — the special cable needed for the PC connection output.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which measuring bases are available on the strain gauge?
Two models are offered: one with a 100 mm measuring base and one with a 300 mm measuring base, each with a 5 mm range.
What resolution does the digital gauge have?
Both models use a digital gauge with 0.001 mm resolution, and both have an output for PC connection, which needs a special cable.
What is included in the strain gauge test set?
The set contains the extensometer with digital gauge, a standard bar, a calibration bar, 50 datum discs, adhesive compound for fixing the discs, and a carrying case.
Can the strain gauge be used on steel as well as concrete?
Yes. It was first designed for use on concrete structures, but it can also be used on any other type of structure, including steel.
What are the case size and the weight?
The carrying case measures 300 × 400 × 110 mm, and the weight given for the set is approximately 2.1 kg.
Under which standard is the demountable gauge listed?
The standard listed for the demountable gauge is BS 1881:206, and its readings are taken between datum discs fixed with adhesive.
