Fibre Strain Gauge

Fibre Strain Gauge

The Strain Gage SG-01 is the fibre optic equivalent of an electrical strain gage. The Strain Gage SG-01 can be mounted directly on the surface of a structure by means of an adhesive. In this way, the fibre sensor makes direct contact with the surface and therefore accurately measures the strain at the surface. Supply of the strain gages, installation tools and instruction manual can be found in the Strain Gage Installation Kit (SGK-01).

Fibre Strain Gauge Chain

Fibre Strain Gauge Chain

The Strain Gauge Chain SGC-01 is a spliceless chain of several fibre optic Strain Gauges in series. These Strain Gauges are the fibre optic equivalent of electrical strain gauges. The Strain Gauges can be mounted directly on the surface of a structure by means of an adhesive. In this way, the fibre sensor makes direct contact with the surface and therefore accurately measures the strain at the surface. Supply of the installation tools and instruction manual can all be found in the Strain Gauge Installation Kit (SGK-01).

Fibre Strain Measurement Wire

Fibre Strain Measurement Wire

A Draw Tower Grating (DTG®) array is embedded in a Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) round profile. The DTG® array embedded in the GFRP is designed to measure the total strain caused by both the thermal expansion and the mechanical stress. The position and the wavelength of each DTG®, as well as the pigtail length and connector type, are specified by the customer. The SMW-01 comes with a standard GFRP outer diameter (OD) of 0.5mm or 1mm and can optionally be protected with an additional High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) outer jacket

GFRP Strain Bare Fibre Array Sensor

GFRP Strain Bare Fibre Array Sensor

GFA-01 is a fiber array with configurable number of FBG elements and their spacing over the fiber length. The outer layer is Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) coat which protects the FBG sensors and ruggedizes the construction. GFA-01 is typically used for direct embedding or gluing to the measured surface to capture strain changes of the monitored structure.
