Dynamic asphalt strain gauges measure axial strain in the flexible pavement under high frequency (dynamic) conditions. Utilizing four active elements of a Wheatstone bridge circuit, this gage compensates for temperature, rejects bending strain (may also be configured to measure bending and reject axial strains), and compensates for lead resistance providing a sensor that is easily
adaptable to most data acquisition systems without requiring additional signal conditioning.
This low-modulus, ruggedized sensor is built to withstand the high temperature and vibratory rolled compaction required for asphalt placement. Each sensor is individually calibrated and supplied with fabrication Quality-Control documentation.

This geotechnical MEMS tiltmeter is available in uniaxial and biaxial configurations. It presents a robust and rugged design for outdoor geotechnical use, but with the benefit of low-cost MEMS technology and ±5VDC, 0-5 VDC, or 4-20 mA output signals. It is an effective tilt sensing solution for platform leveling/positioning, structural monitoring, construction monitoring, industrial machinery positioning, radial gate measurement & control.
The 750-050 geotechnical tiltmeter series is a low-cost, high precision tilt sensor designed with higher accuracy than most comparable MEMS devices. It is meant for geotechnical applications such as bridge sag and sway deflection measurement, platform leveling, and structural analysis. All 750-050 tiltmeters are RoHS compliant.
