High Temperature Weldable Strain Gauge AWH-4/AWH-8

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.

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.

Recommended lead wires for leadwire-integrated strain gauges

Recommended lead wires for leadwire-integrated strain gauges

Where we had previously indicated type for 2-wire system leads with -♦L and 3-wire systems with -♦LT for standard vinyl leadwire-integrated strain gauges regardless of type of lead wire, we changed to a symbology for indicating lead wire types in April of 2017 to accommodate products such as those with lead-free solder (option –F) as part of our efforts to make environmentally friendly CE-compliant products.
Although there is no information given in the catalog on F/P/PF series leadwire-integrated strain gauges, this is handled as it has been. Combinations are available of all strain gauges and lead wires for strain gauges. Combinations are also available of lead wires for temperature-integrated strain gauges and all foil strain gauges.

Temperature-integrated strain gauges (with thermocouple)

These are temperature-integrated strain gauges having our unique thermocouple added. F series and almost all other foil strain gauges can be fitted with this capability. The temperature contact is a tab on the strain gauge, and displays the same temperature as the strain gauge. This can be measured with any of our data loggers.
* Data loggers applicable to the measurement of these gauges are TDS-540/-530/-303/-300/-630/-602/ -601A/-601/-102/-101R and TC-37K/-32K/-31K. Measurement using a dynamic strainmeter is not possible.
