Structurally a load cell has a metal body to which strain gauges have been secured.
A strain gauge material should have low.
Ruge in 1938 the most common type of strain gauge consists of an insulating flexible backing which supports a metallic foil pattern.
Based on curve b in fig.
Polyimide is the prevalent backing material and is thus the default standard.
Backing carrier materials are needed because strain gage wires are very fragile and difficult to handle.
Its thickness should not exceed 10 micrometers.
Bonded metal foil strain gauge.
12 is a sensor which responds to the expansion or contraction of a material or the strain a strain gauge consists of a long thin piece of metal which folds back on itself or zig zags across the sensor.
This category is just an extension of previously defined bonded metal wire gauge.
Strain gauge load cell.
The glue used should be specially prepared for use in the strain gauge.
The gauge is attached to the object by a suitable adhesive such as cyanoacrylate.
Strain gauges must have a good frequency response.
The operation of the glue should isolate the wires from the material being tested.
Strain gauge load cells are the kind most often found in industrial settings.
It is ideal as it is highly accurate versatile and cost effective.
These metal foil strain gauge uses similar materials to wire strain gauges.
7 13 a the gage factor under tension is 3 5 at low strains and increases as the strain increases due to damage wang and chung 1997.
A strain gauge also spelled strain gage is a device used to measure strain on an object.
Strain gauge transducers usually employ four strain gauge elements that are electrically connected to form a wheatstone bridge circuit.
As the material expands or contracts the long thin piece of metal gets longer or shorter with the material changing the resistance of the metal.
The linearity should be maintained within accuracy limits.

Question is for better results a strain gauge should have low options are a resistance value b gauge factor c resistance temperature co efficient d all of the above e leave your comments or download question paper.
The strain gauge should be properly prepared by ideally gluing the strain gauge to the material being tested.
Measuring strain gauge circuits in order to measure strain with a bonded resistance strain gauge it must be connected to an electric circuit that is capable of measuring the minute changes in resistance corresponding to strain.
The effectiveness of electrical resistance based strain sensing is inadequate due to the low value of the gage factor and the large effect of damage on the resistance even at high strains.
