Together with Gantners partner Moore Industries focused subjects were prepared to meet the needs regarding solutions and products. Especially the fatigue monitoring of power plant steam pipes were deeply discussed. Further subjects were strain measurement in concrete (vibrating wire) and the Smart Device Integrity Test Station SDITS.
The “Lunch and Learn” provides 3 interesting hours of great conversation for EDF, Gantner Instruments and Moore Industries. Thank you EDF.

Strain is the single most important measurement during aircraft fatigue testing. The accuracy and precision of strain gauge measurements is of the greatest importance to exactly determine the durability and damage tolerance of a structure. The higher a structure is in the ‘pyramid of test’, the higher the test complexity, number of measurement channels, and data produced. On top of that the risk in terms of time delay and cost associated to a test program increases more than proportional with the increase in test complexity. Here are six tips to help you choose the right data acquisition system for your fatigue test:
