Strain gage measurements provide a means to determine the strain, stress, and load on machinery components. SimuTech’s team of test engineers has extensive experience in strain gage and telemetry measurements on a wide variety of machinery components and structures. Strain gage measurements provide information for validation of finite element models (FEM), establishing safe operating loads, and failure investigations. Strain gages are suitable for high temperature and harsh environments. When used in conjunction with a telemetry system, strain gages can also be used to directly measure strain in rotating machinery components. SimuTech’s services include selection of gage size and type, specification of gage locations and orientations, recommendations for bonding methods, and development of practical strategies for dealing with lead wire paths, connection terminals, clearances and gage protection. 

Telemetry Capabilities:

• Verify analytical models
• Establish safe operating loads
• Applicable to high temperatures and aggressive environments

Telemetry services include:

• Selection of gage size and type, number of gages.
• Recommended bonding methods, and gage orientation.
• Considerations of temperature, test duration and required accuracy.
• Practical strategies for dealing with lead wire paths, connection terminals, clearances and gage protection.
