Strain Gauge Services

Here at DTB, we have experience with custom strain gauging of customer parts for obtaining accurate strain data in support of structural and fatigue testing. Applications include most materials such as aluminum, steel, alloys, titanium and fiberglass/composite laminates.

DTB’s newly expanded Strain Gauge testing area provides a larger working space for your testing needs. We have multiple technicians that are trained in gauge selection, surface preparation, adhesive selection, installation and wiring for all types of strain measurements. Our installation technicians have undergone industry standard training courses by recognized field authorities.

DTB is able to record and analyze over 200+ channels of Strain Gauge information simultaneously.

Our Strain Gauge Capabilities Include:

Dayton T. Brown’s experience with strain gauge installation and testing comes from our work with the F22, F18, F14 aircrafts, JFS aircraft, CH-47 and UH-60 rotorcraft, Hyfly missiles, adapters to hold missiles, material handling equipment, US Postal service testing and our newly acquired work with Spirit Commercial Aerospace. Our Strain gauge testing can be installed for lab and/or field use.

DTB pays special attention to the Air Force Guide for verifying strain gauge placement, versus the finite element model for accuracy within 10%.

Our Strain Gauge abilities are part of our structural and fatigue testing services.
