The IMETRUM Video Gauge measures strain and displacement on materials, components and structures.

It is a non-contact, video based instrument with applications in material testing, component testing and structural monitoring.

The Video Gauge is frequently used to overcome challenging measurement problems such as high temperature or high-speed material testing.

For straightforward tasks such as batch testing of material properties it offers significant time and cost savings over traditional methods.

Case Study

Measuring size effects in the strain to failure of cast adhesive samples

The problem

Peak strains in structural adhesive bonds are highly localised. In order to develop adequate methods for the prediction of failure in bonded joints the effect of changing the volume of stressed material on the stress and strain at failure must be found. To do this three sample sizes were taken and a stress / strain had to be measured for each one.
