Specialist Strain Gauging Services

Smart Fibres engineers have gained a wealth of experience over the years gauging with fiber optic sensors in applications with specific rerquirements that make electrical foil or vibrating wire gauges either impractical or unusable. Many of today's applications of strain gauges have similar unique requirements

Such requirements include:

• High density gauging of components with low intrusion
• Gauging of very small components
• Gauging with zero electrical power at the sensor for RFI and EMC immunity and intrinsic safety considerations
• Gauging with zero sensor drift for long term monitoring
• High fatigue durability gauge attachments for composite under extreme cyclic loading
• Internal strain gauging within composites, concrete, plastics etc.
• Gauging of highly inaccessible locations (sub-sea, sub-terrain, down-hole)

Smart Fibres offers the benefits of this experience through a professional strain gauging service either in-house or on site.

Our complete service offering includes

• Assessment of customer requirements
• Design of suitable sensor and attachment system
• Commissioning of sensing system to component /structure under test
• Collection of data
• Decommissioning of sensing system from component / structure under test
• Analysis of data and final reporting
