Foil type strain gauge In Foil type strain gauge we use thin sheets or foils of 5 micro metre thick. by photo etching or masked vacuum deposition process , based on our requirement or application we can shaped the strain gauge. The end turns are made fat so as to reduce the contribution from the transverse strain which is a superiors input. Metal Foil Strain Gauge The arrangement consists of the following; The metal foil of 0.02mm thick is produced using the printed circuit technique. This metal foil is produced on one side of the plastic backing. Leads are soldered to the metal foil for electrically connecting the strain gauge to a measuring instrument (wheat stone bridge). Operations of Metal foil Strain gauge With the help of an adhesive material, the strain gauge is pasted/bonded on the structure under study. Now the structure is subjected to a force (tensile or compressive). Due to the force, the structure will change the dimension. As the strain gauge is bonded to the structure, ...
