Options

Any leadwire attachment option, such as Option W (encapsulated gages with integral terminals) or Option LE (encapsulated gages with leadwires), will lower the maximum elongation capability of EP-Series gages. But because the elongation limits of EA-Series strain gages are more moderate (3% - 5%), and because options will normally withstand at least the lower end of this range, they are not generally a limitation in the selection of EA-Series gages.

To obtain maximum posssible elongation, select EP-Series gages without options.
