Our load cells can be based either on resistive strain gauges or vibrating wire and also direct reading, and they can be in either solid format for direct load application or as centre hole format. In the latter format they are commonly used for measuring loads in soil or rock anchors. Solid cells are used for any direct loading such as the monitoring of hoop reinforcement in tunnels etc. We recommend that cells using vibrating wire sensors are used for long term monitoring of slopes, whereas resistive strain units are suitable for temporary works.
