Quarter bridge - Typically single element linear gauges which form the backbone of a test. Used in applications such as in service tests or life extension where calibration of the component is not required and temperature compensation is negligible (or compensated using a different device)

Half Bridge/Full bridge - Bending bridge, Poisson gauging, Axial load, Torsion and Shear - Self compensating for temperature.

Torsional Strain Gauges are specialized strain gauges that are applied to the surface of the component. A configuration of multiple strain gauges arranged in a pattern to capture strain in different directions, allows for the calculation of shear strain resulting from torsion. They measure the deformation of the material due to applied torque.

Typically used on beams or shafts installations can be calibrated in house on one of our torque calibration rigs.

All our engineers are assessed and qualified to install strain gauges by the BSSM (British Society of Strain Measurement)

Strain gauge instalation can be perfdormed on individual components or entire structures both at our workshop or on site.
