VW Embedment Strain Gauge

The Sanlien VW Embedment Strain Gauge is designed for precision in measuring internal strains within mass concrete structures. This gauge features two stainless steel pads seamlessly connected by a protective tube that houses a sealed steel wire.

Engineered for durability in demanding environments, the gauge features flat circular flanges on each end pad that efficiently transfer concrete deformation to the embedded wire for precise strain measurement.
