AWMD-5, AWMD-8 (for dynamic measurement only : -196 to +800℃) Full bridgeCE_logo

The AWMD is applicable up to 800°C and is dedicated to dynamic measurement. A high pass filter is a standard accessory. Using the high pass filter, unnecessary direct current component and low frequency component (thermal output, drift, etc.) are cancelled. A DC exciting dynamic strainmeter such as DC-96A/DC-97A, smart strain recorder such as DC-204R, or multi-recorder TMR-200 series should be used for the measurement.

AWH-4/AWH-8 Full bridgeCE_logo

The backing material is available in Inconel 600 or SUS304 which should be selected according to the test specimen material. Although it has half bridge construction consisting of active and dummy gauges, the measurement is made by full bridge method using the supplied temperature compensation circuit board. The maximum operational temperature is 600°C for static measurement and 650°C for dynamic measurement.
