Comprehensive Selection of Stress Analysis Accessories
Achieving the best performance from strain gages (gauges) starts with the right surface preparation. Our surface cleaning products are designed to create the optimal conditions for bonding strain gages (gauges) to various materials, ensuring long-lasting and stable performance. High-quality, strain-gage-qualified solders ensure secure connections that optimize the accuracy and durability of your installations. With our wide selection of wires and cables, you can be confident in maintaining the precision of your measurements across any application.
Precision Accessories for Expert Stress Analysis
At Micro-Measurements, we know that stress analyst must think strategically, much like master chess players. Just as a chess player considers multiple moves ahead, a stress analyst must plan for every step of the strain gage (gauge) installation process. Choosing the right accessories—whether it’s surface cleaners, bonding adhesives, solders, or cables—can mean the difference between a flawless, high-performance installation and a project that falls short of expectations. With our carefully curated selection, you can make the right choice every time.
Surface Cleaning
Our surface cleaning products ensure proper bonding of strain gages and temperature sensors, creating a work surface that's chemically clean and totally free of contaminants.
Adhesives
To achieve its highest performance capacity, the bonding of a strain gage to its test member must be perfect. For ideal bonding, select a high-quality adhesive matched to the quality of your strain gage.
Installation Tools
Each of our installation tools has been thoroughly tested and evaluated by our laboratory staff for quality, reliability, ease of use, and compatibility with all other Micro-Measurements products.
Bondable Terminals
Our bondable terminals, specially designed for use in strain gage circuits, ensure the efficient and confident attachment of lead wires.
Solders and Accessories
Quality of the solder joints formed when attaching lead wires to strain gages used in installation is critical for successful high-performance strain gage results. Our solders are expertly crafted to match the quality and performance of our strain gages.
Wires and Cables
For accurate, reliable strain measurements, it's important to use the right type of lead wire for each installation. Our high quality wires and cables will save you headaches down the line.
Protective Coatings
Environmental effects easily degrade strain gage performance. Micro-Measurements coating compounds have been formulated for use in protecting strain gages from these environmental conditions.
Application Kits
These kits, which include wires, bonding adhesives, and solders, are a make it convenient and easy solution for strain gage users to purchase all of the needed accessory supplies and materials in a single package.
Precision Resistors
For shunt calibration and bridge completion of strain-measuring instrumentation, use our precision, high-stability resistors to ensure accuracy and stability of the fixed resistors.
Bridge Completion Modules (BCM)
When built-in bridge completion resistors and "dummy" gages that accept quarter- and half-bridge strain gage input circuits are not included with strain gage instrumentation, the MR-Series Bridge Completion Modules are an excellent choice.
