HBWC Chevron Weldable Waterproof Strain Gauge

Product Description

Strain gauges mounted 90° apart on one weldable shim. HPI's Chevron strain gauges are designed with two active elements oriented at right angles (90°) to each other, bonded to a single shim. Most popular for the ease and accuracy of Poisson’s Ratio measurements. The waterproof gauges are specifically designed to evaluate and monitor live-load stresses for railway, bridge, and other structural applications and are 100% full water immersion tested. The precision foil gauge is bonded to a stainless steel shim, pre-wired and protected with a molded water-proofing material. The stainless steel shim permits easy field installation with any conventional capacitive discharge spot welder. Instrumentation cable and wiring options can be customised to your specifications. Custom gauge sizes and resistance are also available. Please see the data sheet for options.
