Construction

Solartron's precision measurement sensor technology has its place in construction and these sensors and transducers can be brought together using Orbit® 3, Solartron Metrology’s Multi Channel data processing system.
Mechanical testing for civil engineering
Test instruments supplied to the civil engineering industry can be used to survey the mechanical properties of soil and rock conditions. Transducers can be used instead of traditional manual dial gauges.
Testing for deformation of a structure
The most common types of sensor used to test for deformation of a structure is Absolute Displacement sensors. Both can be brought together using Orbit®, Solartron Metrology’s Multi Channel data processing system
Testing for deformation of a vessel
By fixing one end of a wire and taking it around a vessel and attaching the other end to the core of a displacement transducer. Any change in the diameter of the vessel is related to the position of the transducer core.
Aggregates and asphalts testing
Aggregates And Asphalts
The concrete or aggregate tests involve small displacement under force applications. The behaviour of the sample is then analysed accurately and characterised.
Concrete
Concrete Testing
Testing fixtures supplied for building materials such as the manufacture of concrete is important to ensure of the correct properties and capabilities.
Hardness testing
Hardness Testing
Manufacturers producing mechanical testing instruments and welding machines must gather data in order to measure physical displacement.
Understanding the properties, movements and limitation of materials through precision measurement sensor technology is vital to design and construction to ensure a fit for purpose end product. Using Solartron Metrology's measurement sensors and transducers and Orbit® Networking system (which can integrate third party measurement sensors), qualities such as linear displacement, stretch, strain, pressure and temperature can be measured and recorded.
