   What is a strain gauge?

   • Strain Gauge Definition: A strain gauge is a device that measures the deformation (strain) of an object when force is applied, through changes in electrical resistance. Working Principle: The strain gauge detects minute geometrical changes as resistance changes, which indicate the level of stress on the material.

   How does a strain gage work?

   • In general, a strain gage makes use of very fine wire or metallic foil arranged in a grid pattern. The electrical resistance of the strain gage’s metallic grid changes in proportion to the amount of strain experienced by the object, offering the operator a clear, accurate measurement of strain, e.g. how much the item is stretched or twisted.

   What does gauge factor mean on a strain gauge?

   • The gauge factor (or “gage factor”) is the sensitivity of the strain gauge (usually 2). It converts the change in resistance to the change in length. Equation 1: Gauge factor equation (source). Figure 2. Compression and tension as experienced on a strain gauge (source).

   Why does a strain gauge have markings outside the active area?

   • The markings outside the active area help to align the gauge during installation. A strain gauge (also spelled strain gage) is a device used to measure strain on an object. Invented by Edward E. Simmons and Arthur C. Ruge in 1938, the most common type of strain gauge consists of an insulating flexible backing which supports a metallic foil pattern.

   How does temperature affect a strain gauge?

   • Variations in temperature will cause a multitude of effects. The object will change in size by thermal expansion, which will be detected as a strain by the gauge. Resistance of the gauge will change, and resistance of the connecting wires will change. Most strain gauges are made from a constantan alloy.

   Strain gauges are devices that are commonly used by engineers to measure the effect of external forces on an object. They measure strain directly, which can be used to indirectly determine stress, torque, pressure, deflection, and many other measurements.
