Strain Gauge Installations for Field Testing

Our engineers and technicians have epoxied, soldered and spot welded strain gauges for applications ranging from high temperature exhaust systems to miniature load cell measurements. Every application requires a unique understanding of the strain measurement requirements including installation environment. If the strain gauge installation is to survive in the field you must plan for the […]

Roving Accelerometer Impact Tests with iTestSystem

In order to prevent or troubleshoot structural vibration problems, it is important to characterize a structureā€™s dynamic behavior using both experimental and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technologies.Ā  OneĀ method usedĀ to identify a structure’s vibration modes is to perform a roving accelerometer or roving hammer impact test.Ā Ā In anĀ impact test,Ā engineers measure the response of a structureĀ from anĀ impulseĀ delivered byĀ a […]

FieldDAQ Sound & Vibration Module compatibility added to iTestSystem

ļ»æThe FieldDAQā„¢ FD-11634 sound and vibration input module from National Instruments (NI) can now be used with the latest version of iTestSystem for your data collection needs.Ā  The FD-11634 is similar to the NI-9234, NI-9232, NI-9231, and NI-9230 cDAQ dynamic input modules and can be used with IEPE type sensors such as accelerometers and microphones.Ā  […]
