KHC Encapsulated Gage

These weldable strain gages feature a hermetically sealed structure, and consist of a sensing section and cable to extract output. They are capable of measuring strain in severe environments under extremely high temperature, high pressure, or high humidity, in fields such as power generation (including nuclear power), automobiles, and aircraft. *The characteristics listed are merely for reference, and may vary depending on operating conditions including temperatures.

*Models with no bridge adapter require bridge box DB-120A/L.

How to order

When ordering, specify the model together with code of the desired MI cable length and option code, suffixed with a space in between. The suffix may include codes of the optional bridge adapter and compression fitting. (For extension, contact us.)

E.g. KHC-10-120-G8-11 with 5 m long MI cable.→ KHC-10-120-G8-11 C5M

KHC-10-120-G8-11 with 2 m long MI cable and a bridge adapter pre-attached.→KHC-10-120-G8-11 C2MV
