Proact IMS specializes in high-precision strain and stress measurement services for diverse industries, leveraging advanced Data Acquisition (DAQ) systems and certified measurement techniques. Our turnkey solutions cover surface preparation, on-site measurements, and detailed report generation.
Advanced Data Acquisition Systems
We are equipped with state-of-the-art DAQ systems to ensure accurate, real-time measurements:
- 100-channel Dynamic Data Logging System
- DS-50A Advanced DAQ System
- 32-Channel Multichannel Recorder / DAQ System
These systems support a variety of sensors and strain measurement devices, including:
- Strain Gauges & Strain Gauge-Based Transducers
- Load Cells & Displacement Transducers (for Load Testing)
- Pressure Sensors (for Proof Pressure Testing)
- Acceleration Transducers (for Vibration Analysis)
- Voltage & Other Signal Measurement Devices
Advanced dynamic software enables real-time monitoring of:
- Strain
- Maximum & Minimum Principal Stress
- Shearing Stress
- Von Mises Stress
Results from our measurements are used to validate FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulations and assess component quality and operational health.
Industries We Serve
Aerospace
We perform proof pressure testing on rocket motor casings using TML strain gauges, pressure transducers, and the DS-50A system.
- Purpose: Validate the motor casing’s ability to withstand maximum operational pressure.
- Outcome: Real-time comparison of strain values with FEA simulations ensures components meet safety and design standards.
Automotive & Construction Machinery
Stress measurements are conducted at critical points in concrete mixers, passenger cars, and construction vehicles:
- Measurement of Max. & Min. Principal Stress, Shearing Stress, and Von Mises Stress under simulated load conditions (loading/unloading, concrete mixing, driving on slopes or speed breakers).
- Quality audits for automotive components such as windshields.
- Results help optimize design and ensure structural integrity.
Railways
We conduct squeeze testing and load simulation on rail coaches:
- Real-time measurement of stress and strain at weld joints using strain gauges and load cells.
- Simulated high-load conditions replicate operational stresses.
- Data is compared with FEA simulations for design improvements.
Industrial Applications
Proact IMS evaluates the health of industrial tanks and equipment:
- Stress and strain measurement on liquid nitrogen storage tanks via hydro-testing.
- Embedded strain gauges at critical weld points help assess tank durability.
- Results, compared with FEA values, guide maintenance and prevent unnecessary capital expenditure.
Civil Aviation
We measure stress, load, and deflection on prototype passenger aircraft seating systems:
- Tests are conducted as per DGCA requirements.
- Hydraulic jacks simulate multiple loads up to yield points.
- Data ensures seat durability and compliance with safety standards.
Civil Engineering
- Concrete and Asphalt Pavements:
- Embedded strain gauges measure real-time stress and strain during vehicle passage.
- Data provides insight into pavement behavior under dynamic loads.
- Railway Bridges:
- Strain gauges and sensors monitor dynamic stress during train passage.
- High-speed sampling DAQ models (TMR-300 & DS-50A) enable accurate, meaningful data acquisition.
