Waterproof Strain Gauges
Reliable Strain Measurement in Wet, Humid & Submerged Environments
Waterproof strain gauges from Proact IMS are purpose-built to deliver accurate, long-term strain monitoring in moisture-rich, outdoor, or fully submerged conditions. Encapsulated and sealed to meet IP67/IP68 protection standards, these gauges ensure reliable performance in bridges, dams, marine structures, tunnels, and offshore platforms.
Our waterproof strain gauges are engineered with sealed foil grids, hermetic housings, and strain-relieved cabling, making them ideal for installations where conventional strain gauges fail due to exposure to water, salt, humidity, or chemicals.
