Strain gauge compensates for temperature
Epsimetal's flexibility gives it a measuring range of 1,000um/m, with a resolution of at least 1um/m, in tension or compression.
Scaime has released the Epsimetal 0-5V miniature strain-gauge instrument with digital temperature compensation Epsimetal is easy to install and has a wide range of applications, whenever deformation and strain measurement is vital, from manufacturing and civil engineering to haulage

Ultraflat load cell turns to silo applications
Load cell specialist Scaime has developed a new solution for tank, silo and bulk weighing.
The integral strain-gauge bridge, digitally adjustable by RS232, is designed to provide high-level output and compensation for thermal expansion on any material.
Epsimetal's flexibility gives it a measuring range of 1,000um/m, with a resolution of at least 1um/m, in tension or compression.
Thanks to a system of mechanical biases, which compensate for the stresses of the sensor, the zero drift is negligible and the repeatability is excellent.
Epsimetal can be installed easily with the four screws provided.
Alternatively it can be fixed directly with the removable bedplates fitted to the unit.
These bedplates can be machined to match the shape of the structure that the Epsimetal unit is due to be installed on.
As a result, Epsimetal is a re-usable product.
