BWAH Weldable Strain Gages are constructed of an iron chrome aluminum alloy (Hoskins 875 ™) providing high resistivity and very good oxidation resistance. Recommended for high temperature static measurements where a compensating gage, a half bridge, or full bridge configuration is used.
Axial configured strain gages measure strain in one principal direction: along the long axis of the shim. They can be oriented in either the longitudinal or circumferential direction on the component being tested, and the shims can be pre-curved to fit surfaces with small radius curvatures. Our waterproof gages are specifically designed to evaluate and monitor live-load stresses for railroad, bridge, and other structural applications and are 100% full water immersion tested. The precision foil gage is bonded to a stainless steel shim, pre-wired and protected with a molded water-proofing material. The stainless steel shim permits easy field installation with any conventional capacitive discharge spot welder. Instrumentation cable and wiring options can be customized to your specifications. Custom gage sizes and resistance are also available. Please see the table below for options.
HPI's Chevron strain gages are designed with two active elements oriented at right angles (90°) to each other, bonded to a single shim. Most popular for the ease and accuracy of Poisson’s Ratio measurements. (A material loaded in one direction will undergo strains perpendicular to the direction of the load as well as parallel to it. The ratio of the transverse strain to the longitudinal strain is called Poisson’s Ratio.)
