Concrete analysis strain gauges typically used for installations on concrete or other non-weldable materials requiring long gauge lengths for strain averaging. The concrete strain gauges consist of a foil strain gauge bonded to polyimide carrier in a pre-wired package. The polyimide shim can be easily bonded to any material with most room temperature curing strain gauge adhesives. Configurable options include impedance 120 to 1000 Ohm, gauge length, lead wire material and available in half or full bridge configurations. Custom options are readily available.
