The Enviko SK-VC no-stress meter measures the strain caused by volume changes of the concrete itself, separate from strain caused by load. It consists of a strain gauge placed inside a no-stress container, and it also measures the temperature at the installation point. Engineers use its readings alongside embedded strain gauges to calculate the true stress in concrete.
