VW LOAD CELL VWLC-5050
The VWLC 5050 series of Vibrating Wire Load Cells consist of a solid cylinder of high strength steel with 3 vibrating wire strain sensors mounted parallel to the longitudinal axis arranged equidistant around the circumference which measure the compression of the cylinder under load.
Description
With the multi sensor configuration it is possible to obtain accurate readings under mildly eccentric loading conditions as the sensors are read individually.
The readings from the individual sensors are averaged and when used in conjunction with a calibration factor, supplied with each cell, allow the applied load to be calculated.
The VWLC 5050 series is typically used to measure and monitor compressive load or force in structural members, struts and piles.
Connection to the load cell is via a heavy-duty multi-core sheathed cable which can be connected to a direct portable readout, data logging or Wi-SOS 400 system.

HPS-3500 (Hanging) and IPS-3000 (Inverted) Pendulums are used to measure the tilt or rotation by measuring the relative internal horizontal displacement of points along a true vertical line. Each has a tensioned, stainless steel wire and the effects of the earth gravitational forces to guarantee a perfectly vertical line between a fixed point and a tensioning mechanism. Typical applications include concrete dams, bridges and high rise buildings.

HUMIDITY & CORROSION (CorroDec®2G)
In stock
The structural infrastructure must always meet requirements such as performance, stability and durability. These requirements will have a lasting effect on our mobility in the future. The corrosion risk and the corrosion activity of the reinforcing steel largely define these requirements and are determined by various impact and material parameters.
