Strain/Stress Instrumentation

Strain gauges are measuring elements that convert force, pressure, tension, etc., into an electrical signal. They are the most universally used measuring devices for electrical measurement of mechanical quantities.

Force and load sensors covers electrical sensing devices used to measure tension, compression, and shear forces.

Extensometers are used to indicate the deformation of material while it is subjected to stress.

Nondestructive testing instruments for the determination of residual stress, alloy type, hardness, microstructure heat treatment verification, and modulus, as well as other properties or material conditions.

Mechanical testing equipment covers devices used for adhesion, compression, drop (shock), tensile, vibration and fatigue testing.
