Product Description

Obsolete - no replacement.

The HBP series of strain gauges are specially constructed to meet the needs of measuring strain in concrete. The strain gauge is mounted to a polyimide carrier and than has the cable attached with robust strain relief, the gauge and termination area are then potted in a polyurethane moulding to give mechanical and moisture protection. Strain gauge lengths of 3 to 50mm are offered as standard.  Custom designs to meet specific requirements can be readily manufactured.  Long gauge lengths are used to ensure strain averaging in non-homogeneous materials. FEATURES Suitable for civil engineering environments Easy installation with epoxy and other structural adhesives No soldering or jointing of cable needed in the measurement area APPLICATIONS Concrete strain and stress measurement Crack detection Rock monitoring
