Kyowa's capsule-gage-type strain gage consists of a sensing unit
comprised of an environmentally resistant, metallic tube and flange
sealing a strain gage element in an Insulator, and an environmentally
resistant cable (MI cable) removing the signal output from the sensor
unit.
As the sensing unit is fixed to the measurement material by spot
welding, strain measurement can be conducted even at high
temperatures and under high pressures and high humidity.
A soft cable is connected to the end of the Ml cable for easy
connection to adedicated adaptor (HOB).
Capsule gages for use at high temperatures and room temperature
are available.
Those for use at high temperatures are employed in
applications such as nuclear-power generation, cars, and planes.
On the other hand, as those for use at room temperature are
waterproof and provide stable performance over a long period, they
are applicable to outdoor strain measurement for cars and civil
engineering/construction.
Features of the capsule gage for use at high temperatures:
-Enables strain measurement at up to 950 Deg C
-Completely airtight and environmentally resistant
structure
-Resistor elements made of a heat-resistant special alloy
-Weldable and easy to handle at the measurement site
-Provides high-precision measurement with minimal
thermally-induced apparent strain
-Linear expansion coefficient of 11, 13, or 16 x 10E-6/K selectable
for the sensing unit
-Detailed calibration sheet allows strain measurement
to be conducted with high precision
-Gage with bridge adaptor (at your request) saves labor a
and ensures high reliability.
