ZF series High temperature use strain gaugeCE

These strain gauges are designed for measurement in high temperature up to 300℃. It utilizes specially designed Ni-Cr alloy foil for the grid and polyimide resin for the gauge backing. Owing to the construction, the strain gauges are successfully used for measurement in high temperature.
