When it comes to measuring structural stresses and load, every application is unique, and sometimes that means using a different solution. In some cases where strain gauges are applied, it can be advantageous or even necessary to use weldable strain gauges instead of chemical bonding the strain gauges…
The most common strain gauges used to quantify the state of stress on a test specimen’s surface, are uniaxial and rosette gauges. For accurate measurements of stress and strain, these uniaxial and rosette gauges are independently connected as a Wheatstone bridge in a 3-wire quarter-bridge or half-bridge arrangement….
Come see us at the VIATC 2019 Exhibit Hall in Booth 33! Ryan Welker and Mark Yeager (CAT III Vibration Analysts) will be there to answer questions about our iTestSystem engineering measurement platform, our on-site testing services, LabVIEW consulting, and strain gauging services. When: July 24 &…
When making strain measurements it is important to perform a shunt calibration both before and after the actual measurements are acquired. Shunt calibrations ensure accurate strain measurements by adjusting the sensitivity or gain of the data acquisition equipment to compensate for leadwire resistance and other scaling errors. iTestSystem…
As a part the ITM Live Demo series, we’re excited to release this video featuring iTestSystem and National Instruments FieldDAQ™ hardware to assist with your data collection projects. At ITM, we’re always on the lookout for tools that will help us take tough measurements. When we heard that…
Quantifying stress, strain and force within a structure using real world strain gauge measurements is commonly used to verify FEA models and estimate a component’s fatigue life. Our engineers and technicians have planned and implemented challenging strain gauge installations for our customers around the globe. Information from these strain gauge installations has allowed our customers…
Sensors in Marquette University’s Engineer Hall provide students with an interactive learning center. By Robert Farrell https://csengineermag.com/article/smart-structures-if-walls-could-talk/ I would like to give a special thanks to all those who contributed to the success of this project.

Special thanks to the Penny Write, Tommy Glicker, Chris Davis, Rob Reichmeider, and the rest of the NI Team for allowing us to take part in your DAQ pavilion at NIWeek 2016. See you next spring!
One of the ways ITM sets itself apart is that our engineers don’t flinch when it comes to finding creative ways to make tough measurements. For example, as you can see in this video, we have begun using our in-house 3D printer to customize plastic collars — embedded…
Tell us what you need to measure and an ITM engineer will follow up.
