strain gauge

At Kingmach, strain gauges are not an afterthought—they’re one of the core tools we supply to geotechnical and structural monitoring projects. Our catalog covers the usual suspects: foil type, wire type, embedment gauges for concrete, spot-weldable versions for steel structures, and specialty gauges for soil and rock applications. What sets our offering apart isn’t a single feature; it’s the ability to adapt when standard catalog items don’t fit. Need a gauge with a non-standard resistance or an extended temperature range? We’ll configure it. Working in a high-humidity environment and need sealed leads? We handle that. The range isn’t limited to strain gauges alone; we also provide the complementary readout instruments and data loggers, so the measurement chain stays consistent. Our technical support team commonly helps clients with strain gauge selection, bonding procedures, and signal conditioning advice—stuff that matters when you’re instrumenting a diaphragm wall or a rock bolt and can’t afford rework. Rather than promise everything, we focus on what a geotechnical engineer actually needs: repeatable measurements, straightforward installation, and support that doesn’t disappear after the sale. Our distribution network spans multiple continents, making replacements or additional units less likely to delay a project. If you’re familiar with the usual strain gauge brands, you’ll find our pricing sensible, especially when customization is required.
