Techniques for Attaching Leadwires
to Unbonded Strain Gages

Additional Suggestions

  1. Before bonding, make a resistance and continuity check of the gage/leadwire assembly. Test instruments should not apply more than 1 to 2 volts during measurement.
     
  2. Follow instructions for gage bonding according to the adhesive selected. When positioning gage for adhesive application and alignment on specimen, handle gage by the leadwires to minimize force applied to the solder connections. Tape leadwires to surface after gages are in position.
