Pi-shape Displacement Transducer
PI Pi-shape Displacement Transducer ±2mm to ±5mm
The PI displacement transducer has a simple structure; which considered an arch-shaped spring plate with strain gauges mounted on it.. Six models designed for gauge lengths of 50 mm to 300 mm are available. This transducer is used to measure the crack opening displacement occurring within each gauge length on the surface of concrete or to measure the displacement of various structures.

Bolt Strain Gauge
Bolt strain gauge series BTM/BTMC
These gauges are used for measurement of tensile strain of bolt. They are simply inserted into pre-drilled hole in the bolt with exclusive adhesives. This method is recommendable when an ordinary strain gauges can not be mounted on the bolt surface. Accurate tensile force measurement is possible by calibrating the bolt after installing the bolt gauges.

We can embed a BTM (bolt strain gauge) into any bolt.
The way of adhering a BTM (bolt strain gauge) differs from a general strain gauge, requiring drilling of the bolt, embedding the strain gauge, and load calibration.
