Gage Selection
EA-Series
Properly installed and wired
EA-Series
(polyimide-backed constantan foil) strain gages
are capable of measuring maximum elongations in the
range of 3% - 5%. While gage lengths of 1/8 in (3
mm) or longer will normally achieve 5%, shorter
gage lengths may be limited to 3%. Since most
structural materials (e.g., metals) yield well
below this limit, the EA-Series is a popular choice
for use in obtaining yield point information on
these materials.
