Diaphragm Strain Gages for Pressure Transducers |
| Strain gages are frequently used in pressure
transducers incorporating a circular diaphragm as the
spring element. The full-bridge patterns shown on
this page were designed specifically to take maximum
advantage of the strain distribution on a rigidly
clamped diaphragm of uniform thickness, and represent
an abbreviated selection of gages available for this
application.
A complete range of both circular and linear gage patterns, including detailed specifications, can be found in Micro-Measurements Catalog TC-116. The actual design and development process for building pressure transducers "in-house" requires careful study before arriving at the best compromise between sensitivity, linearity, and frequency response. Vishay Measurements Group Tech Note TN-510, Design Considerations for Diaphragm Pressure Transducers , outlines some of these design considerations. For more information, contact our Transducer Applications Department. Most pressure measurement applications can be handled with commercially available transducers. These gages are, however, an excellent choice when (1) there is no commercially available product, or (2) the application requires modification of an existing component to sense pressure. |
