What are Strain Gauges?

Strain gauges convert mechanical deformation into measurable resistance changes through the piezoresistive effect. Small resistance shifts are detected using a Wheatstone bridge with amplification and temperature compensation. Common types include linear, diaphragm, rosette, torsion, and dual-parallel gauges—each suited to specific stress directions and materials. Used widely in structural testing, load and pressure measurement, and industrial condition monitoring, strain gauges provide precise data essential for safety, performance, and predictive maintenance across engineering applications.

What is Wastewater?

Wastewater is water that has been used in homes, businesses, or industries and contains contaminants such as chemicals, organic matter, and microorganisms. Before being released or reused, it must be treated to remove pollutants that threaten health and the environment. Modern treatment plants accelerate natural purification through steps like screening (removing large debris), grit removal (settling sand and solids), and primary clarification (separating sludge and scum). These processes ensure the safe return of clean water to the environment and support sustainable water use.
