Latest range of strain
gauges from HBM rise
to the challenge
HBM – a market
leader in the field of test
and measurement – is
pleased to announce it
has expanded its range of
optical strain transducers,
which have been specifically
developed to meet the
demanding requirements of
harsh applications.
Suitable for use in
challenging environments,
such as structure monitoring
of pipelines and bridges
and for measuring high
strains, the latest range of
sensors from HBM offer a
wider strain measurement
range for these types of
applications, alongside
greater stability and lower
installation costs, compared
to electrical strain gauges.
Featuring a rugged and
flexible design, the latest
innovative range of strain
gauges from HBM features
steel-reinforced fiber cables
and special strain relief and
