Strain Gauge Set with Digital Dial Indicator (U.S./Metric)

Strain Gauge Set – High-Precision Measurement Tool for Structural Analysis

The Strain Gauge Set is a professional-grade tool designed for precise physical measurements of strain in materials or structural components under load. It can also measure relative displacements in structures, monitor crack openings or closings, and track the shrinkage of concrete during curing. This versatile set is ideal for engineers, researchers, and technicians needing accurate data for structural analysis or material testing.

The instrument frame is crafted from durable anodized aluminum alloy and is adjustable to measure at 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10-inch spacings (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 cm in metric units) using the Punch Bar and Invar Master Bar. These components ensure accurate and reliable results across a wide range of applications.

The digital dial indicator included in the set offers dual-unit functionality, allowing users to easily switch between U.S. and metric units with graduations of 0.0001 inches or 0.001 mm. The indicator is equipped with a data output interface for convenient digital data transfer and boasts an impressive 5,000-hour battery life, minimizing downtime for replacements.

Key Features:

• Adjustable Frame: The anodized aluminum alloy frame is adjustable for a variety of gauge spacings, ensuring flexibility in measurement applications.
• Dual-Unit Digital Indicator: Switch seamlessly between U.S. and metric units with high precision (0.0001 in / 0.001 mm graduations). Includes a data output interface for easy digital integration.
• Long Battery Life: The digital indicator offers 5,000 hours of battery life for extended use.
• Stainless Steel and Hardened Components: Includes stainless steel seat inserts, hardened steel contact points, and brass-mounted inserts for durability and long-term reliability.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for measuring strain, displacement, crack openings, shrinkage, and similar structural properties.

Included Components:

• Strain Gauge Dial Indicator: Available in analog or digital models, with options for U.S. or metric units.
• Eight Brass Inserts: Used to secure the stainless steel Contact Seats.
• Two Contact Seats: Mountable and designed for accurate positioning.
• Two Mounted Contact Points: Hardened steel points for precise measurements.
• Storage Case: A durable wooden case with designated slots for organizing the Invar Master Bar, Punch Bar, and other components.

Additional Information:

The Punch Bar and Invar Master Bar, required for operation, are sold separately. Both are available in Imperial or Metric models. The Invar Master Bar is fitted with stainless steel seat inserts to maintain accurate gauge spacing, while the Punch Bar features one fixed point and one moveable point for precise positioning of brass inserts in specimens.

This comprehensive Strain Gauge Set is a must-have for professionals requiring accurate and reliable measurement results in structural engineering, material testing, and research projects. Its high-quality components, ease of use, and precise performance make it an essential tool for any laboratory or field application.
