HBWS Torque/Shear Weldable Waterproof Strain Gauge

Product Description

Compact unit with two strain gauges 90° apart, mounted at 45° to the long axis of the shim. This gauge type can be used for measuring torque and shear in components. HPI Shear configured strain gauges are used to measure the strain that results when a component is subjected to torque or twisting. The waterproof weldable gauges are specifically designed to evaluate and monitor live-load stresses for railroad, 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 customized to your specifications. Custom gage sizes and resistance are also available. Please see the data sheet for options.
