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.

Concrete testing

Testing fixtures supplied for building materials such as the manufacture of concrete is important to ensure of the correct properties of the material and understand it's capabilities. A fixture with a drain and Digital Probes can measure any bending of hardened concrete.

Hardness testing

Manufacturers producing mechanical testing instruments and welding machines must gather data in order to measure physical displacement. Solartron Metrology’s products are suitable for this type of application due to their rugged construction and high accuracy.

Materials testing for power generation

Data logging and processing systems and equipment can be used to provide information about properties of materials under high thermal and mechanical stress. Solartron Metrology are able to provide linear encoders to provide data feedback into the Orbit® 3 Network.
