high precision strain gauge sensor

Most of our strain gauges deliver a resolution better than 1 microstrain when read with a suitable datalogger. The accuracy over the full range is typically within ±0.5% of reading, but this can vary slightly by model. We provide the calibration data so you can check the linearity and hysteresis yourself.

Yes, our standard arc-weldable strain gauges are sealed and can handle direct water exposure. For higher temperatures, we can build units with special adhesives and cables. Just specify the temperature range and the medium when you inquire—we’ll recommend a configuration that has been used in similar conditions.

It depends on what you need to measure. Embedment gauges go inside concrete or soil to track internal strain, while surface-mount gauges stick to steel or rock faces. If you’re monitoring a concrete dam, you’d likely use embedment gauges in the body and spot-weldable ones on the reinforcement. We can help you decide based on a simple sketch of your monitoring cross-section.

Yes, customization is bread and butter for us. You can specify cable length, type (PVC, PUR, or armored), and connector style. We’ve even integrated custom plug-and-play connectors for clients who need fast installation in tight spaces. Just let us know your requirements when you request a quote.

We offer technical guidance before and after purchase. If you have zero-shift issues or unexpected readings, our engineers can troubleshoot with you—often it’s a wiring or installation matter. We also keep a database of past projects, so if a similar problem has been solved before, we’ll share that experience. For large orders, on-site commissioning support can be arranged.
