The VWLC 3000 series of Vibrating Wire Load Cells consist of a solid or hollow cylinder of high strength steel with 3~6 vibrating wire strain sensors manufactured in the United Kingdom, mounted parallel to the longitudinal axis arranged equidistant around the circumference which measure the compression of the cylinder under load.
With the multi sensor configuration it is possible to obtain accurate readings under mildly eccentric loading conditions as the sensors are read individually. The readings from the individual sensors are averaged and when used in conjunction with a calibration factor, supplied with each cell, allow the applied load to be calculated. The VWLC 3000 series is typically used to measure and monitor compressive force in structural members, anchors struts and piles.
Applications
Measurement of load acting on : Piles, Struts, Arch Supports, Props, Anchors
Features and Advantages
