❓ Concrete used in bridges and overpasses is tested for creep, the gradual deformation that occurs under sustained load. Creep testing uses a load cell and a high precision displacement sensor to measure how far a concrete sample stretches over time.

Solartron Metrology LVDT sensors are well suited to the demands of concrete creep testers and other laboratory materials testing applications, delivering the accuracy and reliability needed for confidence in long term structural performance.
