Special or Short-Term: -320 deg to +400 deg F (-195 deg to +205 deg C)

Strain Range

+ 3% for gage lengths under 1/8 in (3.2mm)
+ 5% for gage lengths 1/8 in (3.2mm) and over

Fatigue Life

10 5 cycles at + 1800 microstrain
10 6 cycles at + 1500 microstrain
10 8 cycles at + 1200 microstrain

Please note : The performance data given here are nominal , and apply primarily to gages of 0.125-in ( 3-mm ) gage length or larger.
