Quality Assurance

All DYNA Force^® sensors are professionally made in a quality controlled facility. Furthermore, each DYNA Force^® sensor is tested and individually packed and numbered at the DSI facility before it is sent to the job site.

Although many tests have been conducted in the development of the DYNA Force^®, DSI conducted additional tests to simulate the performance of the system when placed within the anchorage zone of stay cables. In these tests, DYNA Force^® sensors were placed near the center and on the outside of the strand bundle. The loads were applied using a stressing jack and the force was monitored using a very accurate load cell. The load cell readings were compared to the results from the Power Stress unit and very good correlation was obtained.
