Embedment Strain Gauge
Cast the gauge into the concrete and measure strain from the inside
BEAM-E150 · BEAM-EX150 · BEAM-E250
Some strain you can only measure from within. Tie the gauge into the reinforcement before the pour and follow how the concrete behaves through construction and service life.
Three builds for three jobs
E150 is the standard 150 mm embedment gauge for concrete and reinforced-concrete elements. EX150 adds an integrated waterproof build for piles and wet, aggressive environments.
E250 is the heavy-duty 250 mm gauge for roller-compacted concrete and optional multi-directional or stress-free configurations.
Built for the places where change matters.
Use the sensor where you need a stable, long-term view of the parameter at risk.
Set it before the pour.
Tie the gauge to the rebar cage at the correct location and orientation, protect the cable during the pour, and log a baseline before the concrete gains strength. It can also be grouted into an existing structure where approved.
Designed for the long read.
- Accurate, long-term stability
- Robust and reliable
- Waterproof EX150 build
- Manual or remote reading
- Compression or tension range
- Integral thermistor

The instrument is only the beginning.
Connect the sensor to an Ackcio BEAM-VW node and carry the measurement through Mesh to the monitoring view.
Embedment gauges are often installed in clusters or rosettes, making BEAM-VW-S8 a practical fit. Scattered instruments can use BEAM-VW-S1.
