KFRPB

Summary

The KFRPB series foil strain gages are self-temperature-compensation gages (SELCOM gages) suitable for strain measurement of composite materials such as CFRP and GFRP.
The special gage pattern minimizes the effect of self-heating due to gage current and the effect of reinforcement of low-elasticity materials.

To ensure accurate measurement by avoiding the self-heating effect of gage current, consider the following:
1. Select a lower excitation voltage on a measuring instrument.
2. Active-dummy system
3. 350Ω strain gages

Contents

When ordering, suffix the lead-wire cable code to the model number with a space in between.

E.g.
For the gage with 2 polyester-coated copper wires 15 cm long
→ KFRPB-5-120-C1-1 N15C2

For the gage with a vinyl-coated flat 3-wire cable 5 m long pre-attached
→ KFRPB-5-120-D22-3 L5M3S

If no lead-wire cable code is suffixed, the gage is delivered with gage leads only.
(Silver-covered copper wires 25 mm long)
