We have won a new contract from a leading marine rescue service to measure the stress and strains endured by their rescue craft while at sea. Strain Gauge Installation We will be completely instrumenting a service rescue craft with strain gauges, sensors and accelerometers, […]
We were recently approached by a Harbour authority worried that the harbour berth unloading ramps were reaching the end of their projected 20 year life. The replacement cost was going to run into millions and they were interested in finding […]
One of the wide range of sectors of the automotive industry we have worked is heavy plant manufacturing. Here’s an example of how we field tested transmission modifications for heavy earth moving equipment for one of our customers. To carry […]
Consultancy and design: how we work with customers on strain gauge installation. We tend to provide our initial consultancy and advice to customers free of charge. To illustrate how this works: here is an example of a job in the off shore energy industry. A customer contacted us recently who needed testing carried out on […]
The success of our previous deep sea oil installation life monitoring system has now won Sensor a contract to provide sub-sea data loggers to monitor an entire well head riser and umbilical landing string system. This will mean that Sensor Solutions will be using strain gauges to instrument the riser, […]
An example of one the huge range of applications where strain gauges provide vital data. Our recent work on an IC engine demonstrates the enormous variety of applications where strain gauges can provide valuable information that will help improve efficiency. We have just carried out a strain gauge instrumentation of a 12 cylinder internal combustion […]
Proving the value of structural integrity testing: a static test on a forged titanium tank. As part of our expanding Aerospace portfolio, we recently carried out strain gauge instrumentation of a forged titanium satellite fuel tank in preparation for a static test. Sensor Solutions recorded the installed instrumentation on the tank as it was taken […]
Sensor Solutions install strain and acceleration monitoring equipment to protect commercial vehicle drivers. We were recently contacted by a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer to see if we could help them solve a problem. This vehicle manufacturer had been contacted by their customers, who wanted to understand the working environment of their employees who were driving […]
Oyster 2 generates power from wave action Oyster 2 generates power from wave action using a flap 30m x 10m. Sensor Solutions supplied the strain gauges, designed to cope with the subsea environment, which were installed during the build. We have also supplied the digitisation modules, the BusMaster which manages all the data […]
Life monitoring of a deep sea oil installation. A customer approached us recently as they needed to measure what was happening at one of their deep sea well heads. The first question we asked was: why? The customer was finding that they were getting harmonics as tide movements were creating currents around their well head […]
