A full‑bridge–only instrument joins the TC‑37 series!

This handheld, full‑bridge strain meter retains high resolution of 1 microstrain (1 με) and a wide measurement range up to ±30,000 microstrain (±30,000 με), while achieving a lower price by optimizing functions from higher‑end models.

 

Thanks to its low‑power design, it enables long‑term measurements of about one year on AA alkaline batteries. A built‑in temperature sensor records ambient temperature alongside the measurement data.

 

In addition, onboard data memory and a sleep‑interval function support long‑term automatic measurements.
USB and RS‑232C interfaces are provided for configuration, measurement, and data acquisition.
It also includes a GL–water‑surface depth offset function for water‑level applications.

 

Use case with a transducer (Water Level Transducer) 

When combined with the Water Level Transducer, the system enables long‑term, automatic water‑level monitoring for landslide observation in mountainous areas and at sites that are difficult to access. The “water‑surface depth offset” function lets you set an arbitrary reference water level and measure deviations from that reference accurately. By aligning initial values across multiple locations, you can achieve efficient and highly reliable data collection.

New EC-2 Adhesive for Strain Gauges

Enables Bonding Below the Phase Transformation Temperature of Aluminum Alloys

EC-2 strain gauge adhesive is a two-component, heat-curing epoxy-based adhesive. When the hardener (Component B) is added to the base resin (Component A) contained in a glass bottle and mixed, it becomes a transparent yellow liquid ready for use.

The mixed EC-2 adhesive is applied using the supplied brush.

As a heat-curing adhesive, it hardens when heated at a specified temperature under pressure using a jig or similar fixture. It offers a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable for long-term strain measurement and the fabrication of strain gauge transducers.
After mixing, the adhesive has low viscosity, enabling a thin and uniform bond line. This reduces variations in coating thickness and helps reduce measurement dispersion.
Low-temperature curing is possible at 100°C for 4 hours, making it suitable for bonding aluminum alloys where heat input must be minimized. In addition, it can withstand short-term measurements at temperatures up to 370°C, making it also suitable for bonding HZF strain gauges.

The PP Series is now available with a 100 kPa capacity model

The PP Series is a high-sensitivity, compact pore water pressure transducer specifically designed for measuring pore water pressure in soil during geotechnical model testing. Its small form factor enables installation in limited spaces within laboratory-scale soil specimens, providing accurate and stable measurements of pore water pressure distribution.

Now compatible with round bars 50 mm diameter or larger, enabling tie-bar clamping force measurement.  

The FGMH-2B and FGMH-3B feature stronger magnetic holding force, allowing secure attachment to round shafts 50 mm or greater in diameter. When mounted on tie bars in an injection molding machine's clamping unit, these models enable direct measurement of mold clamping force. 

Strain Checker FGMH-2B 

Mounted on a Ø50 mm round bar

 

Previous Strain Checker models were designed primarily for flat surfaces. The new FGMH-2B and FGMH-3B expand measurement versatility by enabling mounting on round or curved surfaces 50 mm diameter or larger.   

Successor models to FGMH-2A and FGMH-3A. 

The NETIS-Registered “Network Compatible Multi-Stage Inclinometer Series” Now Available in a Square Steel Pipe-Compatible Version

When using a multi-layer inclinometer for earth-retaining wall monitoring, the newly introduced square steel pipe-compatible type offers exceptional convenience.

With conventional multi-layer inclinometers, installation on H-beams or similar members required the use of round guide pipes, resulting in considerable installation time and effort. In contrast, the square steel pipe type can be installed simply by welding it in place, significantly improving workability and on-site efficiency.

This multi-layer inclinometer is designed with its measurement axis inclined at 45 degrees. When inserted into a square steel pipe, it enables accurate measurement in both the X and Y directions relative to the horizontal plane of an H-beam.

Previously supplied only as a custom-made solution, the square steel pipe model has now been added to our lineup as a semi-standard product. It can be installed directly into square steel pipes used for deformation monitoring applications, such as earth-retaining wall measurement, providing a new and practical option for field instrumentation.
