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
Monitoring buildings
The problem
Most buildings are susceptible to small movements caused by environmental effects or nearby engineering works. Traditional techniques for measuring these involve attaching devices to the structure, which can be time consuming, costly or unsightly, as well as needing recalibrating at regular intervals.
The solution
Structural Monitoring
- Civil engineering structures
- Aerospace
- Power generation
- Continuous monitoring 24/7
- Displacement measurement
- Rotation / bend measurement
Material Testing
- High temperature
- High speed impact testing
- High strain > 100%
- Small / delicate samples
- Biological /soft samples
- Batch testing
Component Testing
- Crack growth monitoring
- Cyclic / fatigue testing
- Profile of bending beam
- Displacement measurement
- Rotation / bend measurement
- Strain measurement
