Types Of Strain Gauges: Construction & Specifications

Strain Gauges or Strain Gages are the geotechnical instruments used to measure strain or pressure applied on an object. This object can be as small as a machine or even as large as a TBM. Invented in 1938 by Edward E. Simmons and Arthur C. Ruge, strain gauges have been extensively used in geotechnical engineering since then.

While there are numerous types of strain gauges that are used to determine strain, here are the Encardio’s Models of the strain gauges along with their working principle, features, and applications.

Different Types Of Strain Gauges

Encardio mainly deals with four different types of strain gauges. We have the following Models:

1. Model EDS-11V Hermetically Sealed Vibrating Wire Strain Gage
2. Model EDS-12V Vibrating Wire Sister Bar Strain Meter
3. Model EDS-20V-V Series Vibrating Wire Strain Gage
4. Model EDS-30V Shortcrete Strain Gage
