Strain Gaging Service
You may or may not have in-house strain gage technology capabilities. With over forty years of strain measurement and transducer experience, HITEC Sensor Solutions offers a cost effective solution as a valuable source for strain gage applications on your existing component or components using a variety of sensors such as; foil strain gages, semi-conductor strain gages, free-filament strain gages, thermocouples, RTD's, heat flux sensors, pressure taps and accelerometers.
Strain gages are used to determine material stress due to static and dynamic loads coming from internal and external sources such as mechanical, thermal and pressure.
- In-house and field strain gage applications and testing
- Load monitoring
- Thermal stress analysis
- Mechanical stress analysis
- Residual stress analysis
- CTE testing
HITEC Sensor Solutions can bond or weld any type of strain gage to the test surface, perform data acquisition and provide test data to assist in identifying the stress, mechanical failure or fatigue to verify your design, uncover weak points, and/or validate your FEA. In all cases, HITEC Sensor Solutions has the experience to assist in increasing your component reliability.
