APPLICATIONS

The C-110 strain gauge consists of a thin-wall steel tube with two steel heads soldered to its extremities using
solder with a low modulus of deformation. The distance between fl anges of the heads determines the gauge
length. A small rectangular housing at the gauge midsection encloses the electro-magnetic excitation and
pick-up coils. The electrical resistance of one of the electromagnetic coils provides temperature data, in which case the gauges are delivered with a 5-conductor cable. A 4-conductor cable is used when temperature measurements are not required. Unless specifi ed, gauges are factory-set at mid-range, al lowing one half of the range for measurement of tensile strain, and the other half for compressive strain.
