The mechanical experts at the Applied Technical Services Family of Companies offer a wide range of strain gauge services to promote safety, ensure accuracy, and verify compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Strain Gauge Applications
Strain gauges are precision instruments used to measure stress and strain caused by extreme forces, assessing the structural integrity of critical equipment, parts, and components. Strain gauges are commonly used to test the structural strength of wings, landing gear, engines, and aircraft frames in the aerospace and aviation industries, as well as suspension systems, engine part, axle, and chassis strength in the automotive industry.
Strain gauges play a vital role in assessing the strength of components of bridges, dams, structures, wind turbines, pipelines, oil rigs, power plants, cranes, lifts, presses, prosthetics, surgical tools, ships, offshore platforms, submarines, trains, electronic devices, and robotics. Many industries rely on strain gauges, including aerospace, aviation, automotive, engineering, construction, energy, manufacturing, medical, transportation, consumer goods, and research and development.
Strain Gauge Testing
Strain gauge testing services consist of assessing and verifying a test subject’s strength and structural integrity, ensuring it can withstand the forces it will experience in its standard operating environment.
ATS’ mechanical testing experts start by selecting the best type of strain gauge for the test and then prepare the subject for the test. The strain gauge is installed, and any data acquisition systems are put in place. Forces are applied to the test subject, which is closely monitored to identify any fractures, failures, or potential flaws.
Our engineers compile the data yielded by the test and provide clients with in-depth reporting that documents every step of the process, from initial setup and testing procedures to all resulting data and repair or improvement recommendations.
