Stress Gauge
SF series Stress gauge
These gauges are intended to measure the stress in an optional direction of the specimen in plane stress field. The gauges are sensitive not only in these axial direction but also in the transverse direction, and the sensitivity ratio of the transverse direction to the axial directions is equal to the Poisson’s ratio of the specimen material. In addition, the gauges are not sensitive to the shearing strain. Accordingly, the output of the gauges is proportional to the stress in the axial direction. The gauges are available in three types depending on the Poisson’s ratio of the specimen material.
