When a manufacturer needed to validate the structural performance of a 38-ton on-highway vehicle, ITM deployed a 200+ channel synchronous datalogging system capable of capturing accelerometer, strain, GPS, and speed data at nearly 2 kS/s per channel…
ITM engineers have returned to the lab to demonstrate methods used to measure rebar reinforced concrete using strain gauge technologies.
Suspended in a harness 30 feet above a concrete spillway in central North Dakota, ITM engineer Ryan “RJ” Matthews instruments the gate of one of the world’s largest earthen dams with dozens of strain gauge sensors. Integrated Test & Measurement’s field service technicians and engineers have installed strain…
The most common strain gauge installation configuration is a 350 ohm, quarter bridge. Quarter bridge installations a generally the easiest and most economical installation for determining structural strain levels. In the quarter bridge configuration a single element strain gauge is mounted in the principle axial or bending strain…
A case study describing a strain gauge DAQ system used to validate several new designs of a heavy lift lattice boom crane to comply with SAE J987 standards.
Our iTestSystem customers who routinely acquire data with high channel counts and data from full-bridge transducers recently requested that we update the sensor auto-zero utility to improve test setup efficiency. In the latest version of iTestSystem, we updated the sensor auto-zero utility to include all channels that use…
