High S-T-C Gages for Applications on Plastic Materials



The thermal coefficient of expansion of a group of materials generically classified as plastics varies greatly with type and the temperature range of interest. Micro-Measurements offers a variety of standard gage patterns with nominal S-T-C numbers of 30, 40, and 50ppm/deg F (55, 70 and 90 ppm/deg C) . The gage types noted below are supplied unencapsulated to minimize reinforcement effects. Option L (lead ribbons) is supplied to eliminate risks of damaging the substrate through direct soldering to the tabs of a bonded gage. Option P (preattached cable) is available, but will increase reinforcement on thin or unfilled plastics.
