One Active Gage (tension/compression)

Two Active Gages. Two active gages in uniaxial stress field - one aligned with maximum principal strain, the other with transverse "Poisson" strain.

Two Active Gages. Two active gages with equal strains of the same sign, used on opposite sides of column with low thermal gradient (bending cancellation, for instance.)

Four Active Gages. Four active gages in uniaxial stress field, two aligned with maximum principal strain, the other two with transverse "Poisson" strain (beam).

Four Active Gages. Four active gages in uniaxial stress field, two aligned with maximum principal strain, the other two with transverse "Poisson" strain (column).

Four Active Gages. Four active gages with pairs subjected to equal and opposite strains (beam in bending or shaft in torsion).

Grid Power & Power Density at a contant power-density over the grid area.

Optimum Bridge Excitation Levels at a contant power-density over the grid area.

Inactive Series Resistor for reducing bridge voltage & power-density over the grid area.
Note : Corrections must be made to the indicated strains when an inactive resistor is utilized to reduce bridge voltage.

Attenuation Factor for correcting indicated strain when an inactive resistor is used to reduce bridge voltage & power-density over the grid area.
