This particular type of gauge has been
specifically developed to measure stresses
and strains in concrete and/or reinforced
steel structures such as diaphragm walls,
struts, piles, steel lining, etc.
AGISCO strain-meters are designed to have
the characteristics of defined elasticity
(Young’s Modulus) and high deformability to
allow improved accuracy in strain
measurement.
This type of strain-meter was developed for
use in a hostile environment: their IP68
protection giving them particular suitability
for very humid environments and even
immersion in concrete or water under
pressure.
These instruments may be used several
times as they are easy to attach and
remove from the structure under
monitoring.
Once testing is over, they may be easily
recovered and reused.
These instruments are particularly suited for
use during subterranean excavation as they
are easy to move while driving the tunnel.
