Possible applications for
TML data loggers

Data loggers for strain measurement are used in a variety of applications, especially where it is important to monitor and record the deformation or stress of materials or structures over a period of time.

• Material testing & quality assurance: In material testing, data loggers from TML are used to measure the load and deformation of materials such as metals, plastics and composites. This can be done during the production or processing of materials as well as in quality control and monitoring.
• Construction & structural monitoring: In the construction industry, TML data loggers are used to monitor the load on structures such as bridges, buildings, tunnels and roads. This enables early detection of structural weaknesses or potential damage.
• Failure analysis: TML data loggers for strain measurement can be used to measure strains and stresses at various points in a system or structure. Continuous monitoring can detect deviations from expected values, which can indicate potential problems or faults. This data can be used to identify the causes of faults and initiate appropriate troubleshooting measures.
• Development of sensors (force transducers, load cells, etc.): TML data loggers are used during the development process of sensors to evaluate their performance and reliability. Strain measurements help to understand and optimize a sensor's response to different loads and environmental conditions. By recording strain data, engineers can improve the development process and ensure that sensors meet requirements.
• Fatigue testing: In fatigue testing, TML data loggers are used to monitor the stresses and strains on components or structures under real operating conditions. The continuous recording of strain data makes it possible to evaluate the fatigue and service life expectations of components. By analyzing this data, engineers can improve fatigue strength and predict potential failures or damage.
• Evaluation of prototypes: Strain measurement data loggers from TML are used to evaluate the performance of prototypes during the testing phase. Recording strain data helps to understand and optimize the prototype's behavior under different operating conditions. By analyzing this data, engineers can identify weak points, make improvements and ensure that the prototype meets requirements before it goes into production.

Special features of TML data loggers for strain measurement

Data loggers for strain measurement are specialized devices designed to continuously measure, record and monitor deformations and strains of materials, components or structures. The special features of these data loggers include

• Great expandability of the input channels: The number of input channels can be expanded using a large selection of suitable switches. This is particularly important for complex measurements such as strain measurements on aircraft wings.
• High accuracy and precision: Strain measurements often require high accuracy and precision in order to reliably record small deformations. TML data loggers for strain measurement are able to accurately measure and display even minor changes in strain.
• Flexible configuration and customization: Depending on the requirements of the specific application, TML strain measurement data loggers can be flexibly configured and customized. TEDS compatibility simplifies calibration: the required calibration data and settings for connected sensors are automatically recognized and applied.
• Portability: The practical handheld device can be easily transported from one location to another to read out many measuring points at different locations - ideal for the requirements of on-site tests.
• Channel-to-channel isolation: Channel-to-channel isolation improves the integrity of the measurement data and the reliability of the data logger in demanding measurement environments. Each channel of the data logger is electrically isolated. This prevents signal crosstalk, increases measurement accuracy, protects against damage and improves the flexibility and reliability of the data logger.

TML's strain measurement data loggers offer a range of specialized functions and features that make them particularly suitable for applications where precise and reliable acquisition of many strain measurement points simultaneously is required.
