HBM has expanded its selection of optical strain transducers that have been specifically developed to meet the demanding requirements of harsh applications.
The gauges are suitable for use in challenging environments, such as structure monitoring of pipelines and bridges and for measuring high strains.
They also offer a wider strain measurement range, alongside greater stability and lower installation costs, compared to electrical strain gauges, HBM says.
Featuring a rugged and flexible design, the HBM gauges feature steel-reinforced fiber cables and special strain relief. They can be used for strains of at least ±2000 µm/m in a temperature range from -40°C to +80 ̊C.
