| Direct
Measurements offers solutions based on its
portable, battery-powered instrument and
unique wire-free sensor. From simple
laboratory strain measurement to NDI/NDE and
large-scale maintenance and inspection
programs, Direct Measurements is leading the
way with rugged, field-ready solutions. |

| SR-CWV is a
portable, handheld, battery powered
instrument designed specifically to measure
the amount of cold work (or cold expansion)
applied to fastener holes.
Fastener-hole cold working is an
increasingly common maintenance practice
used to extend component life. However,
crediting this process toward component life
extension requires an accurate measurement
of the applied cold work. SR-CWV's
simplified 'wizard' user interface and
powerful measurement capabilities make cold
work measurements a breeze. SR-CWV gages are
used on metals, composites, plastics, and
more. SR-CWV is currently undergoing
BETA testing in the field and will be
available soon. |

| Fatigue and Crack
Detection |
|
| SR-2 is a portable, handheld, battery powered instrument that measures a material's strain state using a semi-permanent wire free gage.
SR-2 reveals strain anomalies, differentials, and trends over time, which may indicate possible fatigue damage, the onset of cracking, and/or other material-health issues.
Each SR-2 gage delivers multiple, simultaneous, non-linear strain readings by simply placing the SR-2 handheld 'reader' over the gage. SR-2 gages are used on metals, composites, plastics, and more.
As a self-contained strain measurement system, SR-2 eliminates equipment and labor costs associated with conventional strain measurement, and offers unmatched measurement capabilities plus powerful data display and logging features. |

| Strain
Measurement Alternative |
|
| SR-1 is a portable, handheld, battery powered instrument that measures a material's strain state using a semi-permanent wire free gage.
SR-1 measures strain directly rather than inferring it from other analogs, and is an easy-to-use strain-measurement alternative for laboratory and test environments.
Each SR-1 gage simultaneously delivers normal, shear, and principal strain readings by simply placing the SR-1 handheld 'reader' over the gage. SR-1 gages are used on metals, composites, plastics, and more.
As a self-contained strain measurement system, SR-1 eliminates equipment and labor costs associated with conventional strain measurement, and offers unmatched measurement capabilities plus powerful data display and logging features. |
