Descriptions
The GeoAnts Vibrating Wire Strain Gauge (VWSG-E and VWSG-AW) is designed for high-precision measurement of strain in various structural applications. It consists of a stainless-steel body with an embedded vibrating wire strain gauge and a custom-crafted plucking coil. These sensors are used to measure stress and deformation, with the mechanical change in tension affecting the wire’s resonant frequency, which is then converted to a measurable signal.

Standard
The Standard Model VW embedded strain gauge is designed to measure stress in reinforced concrete and bulk concrete. By mounting 2 to 4 VW embedded strain gauges on suitable elements with different orientations, you can measure the magnitude, distributed direction, and trend of the strain. Strain gauges can be used to understand the strain behavior of structures after they are embedded in structures such as dams and embankments.
Biaxial
The biaxial model is very useful for measuring biaxially accurate stress in reinforced concrete, mass concrete structures and shotcrete applications.
Miniature
The super small size miniature model strain gauge can be used quite easily when there is a limitation in the installation conditions.
