The Sister Bar Rebar Strain Meter VWS-4000 is a precision instrument designed to monitor strain in reinforced concrete structures such as bridges, tunnels, retaining walls, and dams. Utilizing vibrating-wire technology, it provides highly accurate, drift-free, and repeatable measurements for reliable long-term structural health monitoring.
This strain meter is installed alongside rebar (sister bar) to measure strain directly in reinforced concrete elements. By converting mechanical deformation into precise electrical signals, it gives engineers valuable data to assess stress distribution, structural performance, and potential weaknesses. The VWS-4000 is resistant to temperature variations, moisture, and electrical noise, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging construction or underground environments.
Engineers use the Sister Bar Rebar Strain Meter VWS-4000 to monitor structural integrity, validate design assumptions, and support proactive maintenance strategies. Integration with dataloggers and automated monitoring systems enables continuous data collection, reducing manual inspection requirements and facilitating timely decision-making.
