The Zemic loadcell range covers capacities from a few hundred grams to around 500 tons, with over fifty families of single-point, compression, S-type, shear beam and spoke-type load cells.
The 'low' temperature range of weldable and bondable strain gauges offers waterproofed protection for measurement on bridges, ships, pipelines, re-bar, railways, buildings and offshore structures giving very rapid installation especially in extremely hostile conditions where conventional strain gauging cannot be used.
Gauges for immersed applications are individually tested for sealing, thus offering a very high degree of protection and confidence.
The high temperature weldable gauges have been developed to be suitable for pipework and components for automotive, aerospace and power generation applications including nuclear installations where radiation could be present.
Again, these offer rapid installation, even at elevated temperatures.
High temperature weldable gauges can be used at up to 1,000C.

The weldable strain gauge offers an extremely cost-effective solution to strain measurement in many installations since far less surface preparation is usually needed and no curing cycles are involved.
Standard designs are available on very short delivery times and custom gauges can be manufactured to meet special requirements eg.
curved, rosettes, etc.
