high temperature encapsulated strain gauges
TRANSCRIPT
1
High temperature encapsulated
strain gauges are an easy to install
option for field and test applica-
tions at elevated temperatures.
Allowing strain gauge installation
to substrates as hot as 250ºC
without requiring stress raising
spot welds.
Transparent, flexible coating
prevents any risk of gauge grid
contamination still allowing easy
installation with original align-
ment marks.
Pre-wiring with high tempera-
ture soldered or welded lead wires
As well as our range of HT & PU en-
capsulated strain gauges, Gauge Fac-
tors are able to offer Weldable and
Concrete embedment gauges and tailor
made full bridge sets.
Cable types and lead lengths to suit
your needs.

PG Option High Temperature Encapsulated strain gauges are now available with a PG option. A PG option HT strain gauge has a thin layer of high temperature strain gauge adhesive applied to the bonding face which is heat treated to β stage. This process makes the in-stallation process quicker and more efficient. To Install a PG option strain gauge, position the gauge, apply clamping pressure, and heat to 175ºC for 2 hours.
