How Do You Understand Applications Using A Strain Gauge?
A strain gauge is a device that measures the strain of an object. Strain is described as the change in size or in shape after an object experiences displacement or when there is applied force on the object. Strain is also known as the deformation of the object. The strain gauge was invented in 1938. It is used in different types of applications. The strain on the object can be described as tensile or compressive. There are different types of strain gauge that are used to measure the displacement of an object. The strain gauge that is used is based on the kind of object that it is measuring the strain for. Here are some of the applications that use a strain gauge: • Pressure Sensors. A strain gauge can be used in the manufacturing of pressure sensors or a pressure transducer. A pressure sensor is used in measuring the amount of pressure in substances, such as liquids or gasses. The strain gauge circuit that is used for pressure strain sensors is made out of foil, a thick film, a metal f
