Perfectly installed strain gauges are the key to accurate measurement results!
TANDM and eNtsa presents hands-on training that enables delegates to professionally install strain gauges. The course is four days long and covers theory, practicals and two open-book exams.
Presented by measurement experts, this course is suitable for engineers with beginner to intermediate strain gauge experience, looking to improve their skills.
