KFWS Series
Small-sized Waterproof Foil Strain Gages

Summary
The KFWS series foil strain gages are small-sized waterproof gages suitable for outdoor or underwater strain measurement where gage bonding space is limited.
The waterproof resin is as thin as 1.3 mm, making them flexible enough to be bonded to a curved surface of 10 mm diameter.
