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

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.
