    Vibrating Wire Strain Gauge ELB0007I

    Uploaded by

    Anji Andrei
    RST Instruments manufactures vibrating wire strain gauges that can be welded or embedded to monitor strain in structures like bridges and buildings. The gauges contain a tensioned steel wire that changes frequency when the structure deforms, measured by a readout device. Models include arc weldable, spot weldable, and embeddable varieties with different lengths, strain ranges, and installation methods. The gauges are accurate, reliable, and immune to electrical noise, making them suitable for remote monitoring applications.

    Vibrating Wire Strain Gauge


    RST Vibrating Wire Strain Gauges are designed to be welded to or
    embedded in various structures for monitoring strain. RST vibrating
    wire strain gauges are available in 3 models: VWSG-A, for arc welding
    to steel structures; VWSG-S, for spot welding to steel structures;
    VWSG-E and VWSG-EL, for embedment in concrete.
    Vibrating Wire Spot Weldable Strain Gauge - Low Profile
    (VWSG-S-3000 or VWSG-S-5000) Each strain gauge consists of two end blocks (designed specifically for each
    application) with a tensioned steel wire between them. As the steel or concrete
    surface that encompasses the strain gauge undergoes strain, the end blocks
    will move relative to each other. The tension in the wire between the blocks
    will change accordingly, thus altering the resonant frequency of the wire. A
    vibrating wire readout is utilized to generate voltage pulses in the magnet/coil
    assembly located at the center of the strain gauge. The magnet/coil assembly
    plucks the wire and measures the resulting resonant frequency of vibration.

    The advantages of vibrating wire strain gauges are that the frequency
    output is immune to electrical noise, able to tolerate wet wiring
    common to geotechnical applications, and capable of signal
    transmission of several kilometers without loss of signal.
    Vibrating Wire Spot Weldable Strain Gauge (VWSG-S)
    The RST VW2106 Vibrating Wire Readout (see separate brochure)
    can be used to read the vibrating wire strain gauges.
