USING YOUR CATALOG

The strain gage designation system, gage series selection chart, and selection criteria should be read carefully before ordering
or specifying gage types.

The General-Purpose Listings include
actual size reproductions of each strain
gage pattern, with enlargements of
some miniature patterns for gage ge-
ometry definition. The listing sequence
by gage type is in order of increasing
gage length.  Gage dimensions are
provided in both U.S. Customary (En-
glish) and SI units.

A listing of the gage series available for each pattern is shown in the column next to the illustration.  Specifications, descriptions
and available options are also included for each gage type.

GAGE SELECTION

Many factors, such as test duration, strain range required, and
operating temperature, must be considered in selecting the best
strain gage/adhesive combination for a given test profile.  These
factors and others are addressed in Tech Note TN-505, “Strain
Gage Selection — Criteria, Procedures, Recommendations.”

SELF-TEMPERATURE
COMPENSATION (S-T-C)

All gages with XX as the second code group in the gage des-
ignation are self-temperature-compensated for use on struc-

tural materials with specific thermal expansion coefficients.
The table below lists S-T-C numbers and test specimen
materials to which gages are thermally matched.  A graph of
the thermal output curve for the particular alloy lot is included
on the engineering data sheet provided with the gages.

When ordering, replace the XX code group with the desired
S-T-C number, which is the approximate thermal expansion
coefficient of the structural material in ppm/

°

F.  The Gage

Designation System lists the available S-T-C numbers for
specific grid alloys.  The 06 and 13 values, available in A and K
alloys, are most common and more likely to be in stock.  When
not otherwise specified, the 06 compensation is shipped.

GAGE RESISTANCE

Vishay Micro-Measurements strain gages are available in
various resistance values that range from 30 to 5000 ohms.

Strain gages with resistances of 120 and 350 ohms are
commonly used in experimental stress analysis testing. For
the majority of applications, 120-ohm gages are usually
suitable; 350-ohm gages would be preferred to reduce heat
generation (for the same applied voltage across the gage), to
decrease leadwire effects, or to improve signal-to-noise ratios
in the gage circuit.  Higher resistance gages are typically used
in transducer applications and on composite materials.

GAGE FACTOR

Gage Factor (GF) is the measure of sensitivity, or 

output

,

produced by a resistance strain gage.  Gage factor is
determined through calibration of the specific gage type,
and is the ratio between 

∆

R/R

O

 and 

∆

L/L (strain), where R

O

is the initial unstrained resistance of the gage.  It is affected
somewhat by pattern size, geometry, S-T-C number, and
temperature.  Each gage package is supplied with the GF,
as well as its tolerance and temperature sensitivity.
Nominal gage factors for various alloys are: A = 2.05; K =
2.1; D = 3.2; P = 2.00.

TRANSVERSE SENSITIVITY

All gages are sensitive, to some degree, to strains
transverse to the grid direction.  The transverse sensitivity
factor (K

t

) is given on the engineering data sheet supplied

with all gage types for which the data are relevant.

STRAIN GAGE
ADHESIVE SELECTION

When selecting a strain gage, it is most important to
consider the adhesive that will be used to bond the gage,
since the adhesive becomes part of the gage system and
correspondingly affects the performance of the gage.
However, when the interaction of test characteristics
becomes too complex for selecting the gage/adhesive
combination in a straightforward manner, contact our
Applications Engineering Department for recommendations.

For higher self-temperature-compensations, refer to High
S-T-C Gages data sheet.

CUSTOM GAGES

Unusual applications occasionally require a strain gage
which is neither listed in the catalog nor available by adding
special optional features.  Often a custom product can be
designed to fit such needs.

Careful consideration is given to the backing, foil, S-T-C,
gage length, pattern, resistance and resistance tolerance,
operating temperature range, test duration, maximum strain,
cyclic endurance, leads, encapsulation, and trim so that the
custom gage is designed to properly meet the user’s needs.

Examples of custom gages include such features as unusual
patterns, special trim dimensions, and nonstandard lead
materials or length.

A special part number is normally assigned to each custom
gage.  Doing so ensures that the correct gage is produced
each time it is ordered.  A set-up charge and minimum order
will normally apply.  For further information contact our
Applications Engineering Department.

Stress Analysis Gages

SUPER STOCK GAGES AND SENSORS

At our facility in Raleigh, North Carolina, we maintain
a stock of the most commonly used gages listed in
this catalog, for immediate delivery of up to 50
pieces. This new Super Stock listing is somewhat
different from the one in the prior version of this
catalog. It has been revised to reflect changes in
strain gage usage by our customers, and is subject
to future changes from time to time.

RAPID RESPONSE GAGES AND SENSORS

Another group of somewhat less commonly ordered
gages and sensors are sometimes -- but not always
-- available from stock. These Rapid Response
gages, when not in stock, can be produced to order
with specially reduced lead times.

A listing of both the current Super Stock and Rapid
Response gages and sensors is available on the
Vishay Web site at:

http://www.vishay.com/ref/gagestock

Also, a copy can be obtained by contacting our
Customer Service Department.

STOCK STATUS

To determine the quantities of all gages and
sensors currently available from stock, please
contact either our Customer Service Department or
our sales representative in your area.

ORDERING REQUIREMENTS

ORDER MULTIPLES

All gages must be ordered in multiples of the number of pieces
per package as shown on the price list. For packages with 5
gages each, for example, the order multiples are 5, 10, 15, etc.

MINIMUM ORDER REQUIREMENTS

Super Stock and Rapid Response Gages & Sensors

If gages on either the Super Stock or Rapid Response list are
ordered, a minimum order requirement never applies.

Other Gages & Sensors Available From Stock

If gages other than those on the Super Stock and Rapid
Response lists are ordered and are in stock in the ordered
quantity, a minimum order requirement never applies.

Other Gages & Sensors Unavailable From Stock

If gages other than those on the Super Stock and Rapid
Response lists are ordered and are not available from
stock in the ordered quantity, a minimum order
requirement applies.

Gages on the Super Stock and Rapid Response lists, as
well as those subject to MOR, are subject to change.
Please contact our Customer Service Department to
determine if an MOR is applicable to your order.

Strain Gage Dimensions

Document Number: 11505

Revision 10-Jan-03

www.vishaymg.com

Gage Dimensions

Gage length is an important consideration in strain gage selection, and is usually the first parameter to be defined.

Dimensions listed for gage length (as measured inside the grid endloops) and grid width refer to active grid dimensions.  Overall
length and width refer to the actual foil pattern, not including alignment marks or backing.

The matrix size represents the approximate dimensions of the backing/matrix of the gage as shipped. Matrix dimensions are
nominal, with a usual tolerance of 

±

0.015 in [

±

0.4 mm].  If the gages are encapsulated, the matrix may be smaller by as much as

0.01 in [0.25 mm].  Most patterns also include trim marks, and, for use in a restricted area, the backing/matrix may be field-
trimmed on all sides to within 0.01 in [0.25 mm] of the foil pattern without affecting gage performance.
