Strain gauges for cryogenic temperatures

Strain gauge selection according to test temperature

The test temperature is a basic standard for strain gauge selection. The temperaure can be roughly classified into room temperature, lower temperature and higher temperature. Low temperature strain gauges are available in two types: bonding type and spot-welding type, and can be used in the cryogenicr temperature ranges from liquid-nytrogen down to -269℃.

Bonding type strain gauges according to measuring objects

Metal/-269℃

Ceramic/-269℃

*To be combined with adhesives and coatings for low temperature application

Spot-welding type strain gauges according to measuring objects

Metal/-196℃

* The special spot welder W-50RC is needed.
