Strain Gauges
Strain gauges have the capability to measure the strain that a material undergoes while in use. This measurement can then be utilized to determine the actual structural stresses, which can then be used as a basis for design changes, maintenance decisions, or fatigue life assessments. PDS has expertise in strain gauging for various structures, such as tanks, cranes, grabs, and tipplers. The data collected from strain gauging has been utilized to determine impact events, design checks, fatigue investigations, tank level monitoring as part of a wider control system, and to measure and record load cycles.
