Concrete / Waterproof

Kyowa Electronic Instruments Co., Ltd. manufactures high-precision strain gauges widely used in civil engineering, structural monitoring, and research applications.

1. Strain Gauges for Concrete Applications

Kyowa’s concrete strain gauges are specifically designed for embedding in concrete structures such as bridges, tunnels, dams, foundations, and buildings.

Key features:

• Robust construction to withstand concrete casting and curing processes
• Good bond compatibility with concrete materials
• Stable long-term measurement under compressive and tensile loads
• Available in mold-embedded or surface-mounted types
• Suitable for structural health monitoring and load testing

These gauges are commonly used to measure strain in reinforced and prestressed concrete to assess structural performance and safety over time.

2. Waterproof Strain Gauges

Kyowa’s waterproof strain gauges are designed for moisture-prone or submerged environments, including marine structures, hydraulic facilities, and outdoor infrastructure.

Key features:

• Pre-coated or fully sealed construction for moisture resistance
• Corrosion-resistant lead wires and protective materials
• High insulation resistance even in humid or submerged conditions
• Suitable for long-term outdoor monitoring

They are ideal for applications such as dams, offshore structures, water tanks, and environments exposed to rain, groundwater, or high humidity.
