VW Arc-Weldable Strain Gauge
The Sanlien VW Arc-Weldable Strain Gauge is a vibrating wire instrument designed for precise measurement of strain. It consists of a steel cord with two ends fixed on a metal rod. When the metal rod sustains a micro deformation due to external force, the vibration frequency of the steel cord changes proportionally.
Its arc-weldable design allows secure installation on rod elements of steel structures, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
