Vibrating wire, dual coil

The frequency of a tensioned wire varies with its tension. Fixed to the structure, it turns every deformation into a measurable frequency that stays stable over time.

The principle in detail
Vibrating wire sensor opened up: the two coils and the wire coils anchor
The sensor opened up: the two coils either side of the wire
coils — excitation and measurement anchor — end of the wire

Six measurement families

All our technologies
ref. SG1Vibrating wire sensors — SG1

Vibrating wire sensors

The family everything else follows from.

ref. EP1Cellule de pression interstitielle — EP1

Pressure sensors

Measurement of pore pressures and total pressures in soils and embankment structures.

ref. FIDisplacement sensors — FI

Displacement sensors

Crack meters and joint meters, mounted either side of the area to be watched.

ref. EIFExtensometers — EIF

Extensometers

Measurement of compression and decompression of the soils beneath a structure.

ref. PT100Sonde de température Pt100

Temperature sensors

Temperature governs every other measurement: concrete moves, steel expands.

Data acquisition systems

Read the sensors, record, transmit.
