How to Select a Strain Gage – Strain Gage Matrix Options.

The performance of a strain gage in any given application is affected by every element in the design and manufacture of the gage. What options are available that I can select for a particular foil strain sensor? Particular options for specific gages are ordered by appending the option name to the end of the sensor description. An example is: CEA-06-250UW-350/P2. The base gage is CEA-06-250UW-350. The option is Option P2, which is a 10 foot long; vinyl insulated lead wire pre-attached to the strain sensor. A “/” mark separates the option from the parent strain gage sensor, and also separates multiple options, should there been more than one. Due to compatibility reasons, not all options are available on all gage configurations. Because of insulation temperature limitations, an example is applying Option P2 (described above) to a high-temperature gage. The data sheet for a particular gage shows a list of available options for that gage. Although options tend increase the strain sensor cost, in the long run options can save a considerable amount of time, thus lowering the overall installation cost. You can always contact our Application Specialists to help you decide which makes sense for your application. Tech Note TN-505-4, “Strain Gage Selection: Criteria, Procedures, Recommendations,” provides a list of current options as well as information on selecting a strain gage for you application. A copy is available from the following link to our website: http://www.vishaypg.com/docs/11055/tn... As in other aspects of strain gage selection, the choice of options ordinarily involves a variety of compromises. For instance, an option which maximizes a particular gage performance parameter such as fatigue life may at the same time require greater skill in installing the gage. Micro-Measurements offers a wide selection of optional features for its general-purpose Advanced Sensors Technology strain gages and special purpose sensors. Examples are: • Significant reduction of installation time and costs • Reduction of the skill level necessary to make dependable installations • Simplified installation of sensors in difficult locations on components or in the field. • Increased protection, both in handling during installation and shielding from the test environment. • Achievement of special performance characteristics. Availability of each option varies with gage series and pattern. Standard options are noted for each sensor in the product listing.
