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

Extracting strain data from high speed video

The problem

When carrying out tests at high speed it is very difficult to extract reliable data on strains and displacements. Conventional solutions such as strain gauges tend to become debonded before the test has proceeded very far and a large number of expensive tests may be needed before a valid result can be obtained, making it extremely difficult to obtain statistically reliable data.
