STRAIN SYSTEMS

Strain Systems Inc. was established in 2008 with the name Kistler Sensors to bring to market Mr. Kistler’s latest invention, the StrainCell™ sensor. The patented instrument results from his long-held vision to solve a persistent problem in the silo-weighing industry: the issue of temperature-induced errors in readings. The StrainCell, which installs with a single bolt to the exterior surface of silos, compensates for temperature-related errors during expansion or contraction to ensure highly accurate weight and level measurement of bulk storage materials. By measuring in two directions and mechanically amplifying deflections and distortions, it improves upon the accuracy and reliability of all previous bolt-on strain-measurement inventions.
