PdM COE - Strain Gage Materials Testing & Stress Analysis

Another NDT Technology where MISTRAS Services excels is strain gage testing and stress analysis of various structures.

Certified Technicians and Engineers lay gages on most any surface and analyze the micro-strain output from bridges, tunnels, railcars, vessels, etc. to determine the stress due to internal or external strain on these structures before they fail. This is extremely important today where minimizing material costs possibly weakens a structure and the aging of old structures is of utmost concern as well.

Also MISTRAS has the expertise to configure strain gages to be used as an accurate dynamic scale for weighing very large vessels and its varying contents to trend or control volume or load operation.

The MISTRAS goal is to integrate the best NDT products and services with our Client's needs and personnel by providing everything from die penetrant to magnetic particle to ultrasonics to radiography to strain gage testing for finding strain and stress cracks in structures, pipes, tanks, welds, etc.
