Strain gauge application set (FL 101)

complete equipment for application of strain gauges with wiring and connecting of strain gauges

Code FL101

Description:

  • Measurement using strain gauges is the most important method of measuring mechanical strain.
  • In this measuring method mechanical quantities are measured electrically.
  • Strain gauge measurement is a relatively simple technique in practice, as it offers a high resolution and can be employed directly at the point of interest.
  • A strain gauge is not a complete measuring instrument however.
  • It is only rendered usable by the user, after being installed.
  • The quality of measurement depends not only on the strain gauge itself, but also essentially on the application method and how it is executed.
  • Strain gauges are highly reliable provided users have the skills and theoretical knowledge enabling them to use such highly sensitive sensor elements correctly.
  • The application set FL 101provides all the necessary tools and aids to learn the fundamentals of strain gauges installation.
  • For the measurements to work without error, components are first subjected to thorough preparation before the strain gauges are attached.
  • Special adhesives ensure total transfer of component deformations to the strain gauge.
  • The strain gauge is also protected by suitable coverings against external influences, such as damp and mechanical damage, by suitable coverings.
  • The supplied package includes wiring to connect the strain gauges in bridge configurations.
  • The wires are attached to the strain gauges using a supplied soldering bit and soldering terminals.
  • The instructional material (text book, exercise script and video) provides a multimedia introduction to the installation and configuration of strain gauges and on interpretation of measured values.
