Application of Vibrating Wire Equipment

Vibrating wires principal is used for a wide range of monitoring devices such as strain gauges, piezometers and load cells nowadays. It is morereliable, has less drift and allows the users to have much longer cables than other sensors. One among the prominentVW concrete testing device can be the piezometer. The vibrating wire principles are known for the long term accuracy the offer, their multi gauge system, and also various data logger system they are compatible with. The vibrating wire strain gauge works based on the tensioned wire system. When the strain gauge is excited it vibrates with a resonant frequency, and this frequency is proportional to the length of the wire. When the wire is stretched the frequency changes proportionally to the amount of strain. The vibrating wires strain gauge can be used in various measurement applications such as: ·          Ground anchors  ·          Rock Bolts  ·          Tie-backs  ·          Struts  ·          Arch Supports
