The resultant understanding and knowledge enables TSM to provide a specialist service to support customers' strain measurement needs.

TSM's comprehensive facilities enable it to offer a full range of services, even on intricate customer requirements such as specialist aerospace components, both in-house, in its state-of-the-art clean rooms, or on-site. BSSM qualified technicians conform to BSSM, ISO 9001 and Mil-l-45208 approved procedures, using high-quality strain gauges. All types of project are embraced, from one-off load cells to high-volume production.

Adhesive selection

In bonding strain gauges to a strained surface, it is important that the gauge experiences the same strain as the substrate. Many glues and epoxy resins are prone to creep, but TSM has developed a range of adhesives, coatings and accessories for trouble-free preparation and bonding of precision strain gauges. The adhesives have been formulated to achieve exceptional performance under the majority of environmental conditions and are packaged to provide users with maximum control in mixing and application.

The combination of experienced personnel working to stringent quality procedures and using the best materials ensures total reliability and repeatability of measurements.
