d-micro

SPEC Sheet

YieldPoint’s d-micro technology is a high accuracy digital strain-gauge that can monitor either discrete displacements (i.e. crack dilation) or distributed strains (i.e. stretch of a steel reinforcing element) to µm resolution.

The sensor is extremely thin (<7mm OD) and can easily be attached to many different structural elements (I-Beams and other structural steel, cables and bolts) or embedded in shotcrete pillars The d-micro is easy to install by attaching to the #8-32 threaded rods at both ends of the sensor.

The embed temperature sensor allows the effect of temperature on crack aperture to be assessed and compared with induced dilation associated with blasting, seismic or construction technology.
