24 Jan 2012 by activeload In the Oil and Gas industry we have assessed the most frequent uses for measuring physical properties such as strain, stress, load, pressure and torque by using strain gauges.The strain gauge can be incorporated within a transducer or be mounted onto the structure the measurement is required. | 24 Jan 2012 by activeload Here we assess measuring strain, stress, load, pressure and torque by using strain gauges. | 21 Oct 2011 by activeload Active Load have just supplied 2 load pins for a special marine application that needed the strain gauges to be bonded on external surfaces to determine the exact direction of load and to ensure that the output is not influenced by any applied torque. The pins were fitted with internal amplifiers to give an enhanced output signal. | 21 Oct 2011 by activeload Active Load have just supplied a couple of load pins complete with local load indicators. The indicators were to display the load seen by the pin and to have an output that was used with a PLC. Volt free contacts were also supplied within the display for control of the winch.

21 Oct 2011 by activeload Active Load have just supplied a set of load cells for a high capacity thrust bearing. The load cell had to be investigated using finite element analysis as the load capacity had increased from 135000N to 155000N. The plots were to determine that the safety factor need not decrease. | 20 May 2011 by activeload In the Oil industry we have examined the most frequent uses for the load measuring pin including drill rigs, supply boat to sub-sea assemblies. | 23 Jan 2011 by activeload Active load has just received an order for a number of pillar load cells from one the World leaders in thrust bearings. | 23 Jan 2011 by activeload Active load has just supplied a load shackle for an environmental engineering application. To be fitted to telescopic boom vehicle to help with the overload system. |
23 Jan 2011 by activeload Active load has just supplied a telemetry load shackle for a remote loading application. Many of the remote applications are for dock areas for temporary load measurements on cranes. | 16 Sep 2010 by activeload Active Load have now developed a range of Running Line Tensiometers. | 16 Sep 2010 by activeload Active Load have now developed a static line Tensiometers. | 16 Sep 2010 by activeload Active Load have recently delivered load pins to measure the hawser tensions of mooring buoys for the Cabinda Gulf Oil Company calm mooring system off the coast of Angola. |
21 Jun 2010 by activeload Active Load supplied 36 hollow compressive load cells for the World’s tallest building, Burj Dubai. | 21 Jun 2010 by activeload Last week on the Richard Hammond television programme on BBC2 they showed the engineering problem that had to be overcome on the Millau viaduct. | 21 Jun 2010 by activeload Active load have just received an order for a number of stub axle load cells for linear winch load monitoring. |
