Industry Information

Strain Gauges

A strain gauge is a device used to determine the amount of strain, or change in dimensions, when a stress is applied. Strain gauges measure mechanical quantities by converting tension, force, and pressure into an electrical signal. The most common types of strain gauges are piezoresistive or semiconductor, bonded metallic wire, carbon-resistive and foil gauges. The electrical resistance in each type of strain gauge varies linearly with strain.

The operating temperature, stat of strain, and amount of stability needed are important factors when choosing a strain gauge. The gage factor, gauge length, nominal resistance, and strain sensitive material must also be considered.

Typical characteristics of strain gauges are lead wire, solder tabs, ribbon leads, cryogenic use, encapsulated, embeddable, waterproof, and weldable. Strain gauges can be used for measuring temperatures, detecting cracks, propagating cracks, extensometer, residual stress, transducer gauge, and shear modulus gauge, among other applications.
