Strainsert originated the Internal Strain Gauge installation process, bonding and hermetically sealing strain gauges inside small holes - providing robust, accurate transducers, relatively insensitive to bending, torsion and other extraneous loading conditions common in force measurement applications to diameters as small as 104 inches. Used in typical industrial applications, the depths of the oceans, and into the far reaches of outer space,.applications include flat load cells and fatigue rated flat load cells, with similar internal gauging demonstrating superior ruggedness and stay-on-the-job capabilities and totally insensitivity to barometric and hydrostatic pressures. Internally gauged load sensing clevis pins, axles, shear pins, etc. also have proved rugged and insensitive to changing barometric and hydrostatic pressures
