Structural Instrumentation

Overview

Strain measurement is fundamental to structural engineering — from monitoring the health of bridges and dams to verifying the load-carrying capacity of new structures. Accurate, reliable strain data underpins every critical engineering decision.

AG Measurematics manufactures a complete range of strain measurement instruments — from portable single-channel indicators to 512-channel scanning systems for major infrastructure projects. All systems feature 24-bit ADC resolution, multiple bridge configurations, and field-proven reliability.

  • 24-bit ADC resolution for micro-strain accuracy
  • 4 to 512 channels — scalable for any project size
  • Quarter, half, and full bridge configurations
  • 120Ω, 350Ω, and 1000Ω gauge support
  • Long-term monitoring with battery backup
  • Field-proven at NHAI, RITES, and IIT projects

Features

Key Features

24-Bit ADC Resolution

True 24-bit analog-to-digital conversion ensures micro-strain level measurement accuracy — critical for detecting small structural changes in long-term health monitoring applications.

Scalable Channel Count

Start with 4 channels for a single structural member and scale up to 512 channels for bridge load testing — all using the same software platform and data format.

Multiple Bridge Configurations

Supports quarter, half, and full bridge strain gauge configurations with 120Ω, 350Ω, and 1000Ω gauge resistance — compatible with all major strain gauge manufacturers.

Field-Proven Reliability

Ruggedised enclosures with IP65 protection, extended temperature range operation (−10°C to +55°C), and battery backup for uninterrupted field monitoring.
