Foil Strain Gages for Composite Materials

Summary

The KFRPB series foil strain gages are self-temperature-compensation gages (SELCOM gages) suitable for strain measurement of composite materials such as CFRP and GFRP.

 

Description

The KFRPB series foil strain gages are self-temperature-compensation gages (SELCOM gages) suitable for strain measurement of composite materials such as CFRP and GFRP.
The special gage pattern minimizes the effect of self-heating due to gage current and the effect of reinforcement of low-elasticity materials.

To ensure accurate measurement by avoiding the self-heating effect of gage current, consider the following:
1. Select a lower excitation voltage on a measuring instrument.
2. Active-dummy system
3. 350Ω strain gages
