  • Strain Gage Technical Data
    measuring device for the electrical measurement of mechanical quantities is the strain gage. Several types of strain gages depend on the proportional variance of electrical resistance to strain: the piezoresistive or semi-conductor gage, the carbon-resistive gage, the bonded metallic wire, and foil
  • Kelvin Testing
    A measurement method called Kelvin probing for measuring resistance allows very accurate measurement of milliohm or sub-milliohm resistance. To accomplish this there are two leads, which provide a current source across the load to be measured, and two more leads across the load, which provide
  • Performing Strain Gauge Measurements Using Current
    to that of the active. devices. The entire bridge circuit is external to the datalogger ­ the logger does not provide any bridge. completion for partial bridges. The full bridge configuration with constant current excitation is. connected to the datalogger as a 4 wire input. Interpreting the Data from a Full
  • Magnetostriction: How It Works
    Sensors based upon magnetostriction have been used in a wide variety of industrial applications for over 25 years since their invention at a company called Temposonics in the 1970's. The sensor's unique properties enable sensors to be built with measuring lengths from 1 cm to over 10 meters
  • Strain Gage Pressure Transducer
    . Ruge at the Massachusetts Institute of. Technology and Edward E. Simmons at the California Institute of Technology both. developed techniques for bonding a length of very fine wire to a structure such that any. and all surface strains were directly transmitted to the wire. From such humble
  • Hot tips on thermocouples
    of miniature battery. A thermocouple voltage is actually generated along an entire length of wire that has a temperature gradient. A useful concept to keep in mind concerns the relationship between heat and electrical energy within electrical conductors including thermocouple wires
  • Troubleshooting Accelerometer Installations
    be tested by shorting the signal leads to the shield wire and. measuring the opposite end with an ohmmeter. Depending on the cable length,. several ohms to several hundred ohms should be measured from each wire to. the shield. If the cable and all connections are in proper working order the fault
  • AN117 Basic Bridge Circuits
    conductance varies inversely with length and directly as the square of. wire diameter. Embedded in this paper was the description of a circuit used to measure and compare wire conductance. Charles Wheatstone (an English physicist and inventor) recognized the value of Christie's circuit; he was the first
