Student Gages

|
| Student Gages are a group of twelve
Micro-Measurements EA-Series and CEA-Series strain
gage types specially designed for student use. These
strain gages are manufactured from the same
materials, by the same processes, and to the same
high-quality standards as the regular line of
Micro-Measurements strain gages.
Like others in the EA Series, Student Gages have constantan metal foil grids and tough, flexible polyimide backings. Student Gages are produced in three single-element linear patterns (LZ) and in a three-element rectangular rosette (RZ). The LZ patterns are available with 0.060-, 0.120-, and 0.240-in (1.5-, 3-, and 6-mm) active gage lengths. The RZ rosette is designed with 0.060 in (1.5 mm) active grid lengths. CEA-Series Student Gages are available in a linear pattern (UZ) with 0.240-in (6-mm) active gage length and rosette (CZ) with 0.120-in (3-mm) active gage length. All patterns of Student Gages are produced in 06 and 13 ppm/deg F self-temperature-compensations for use on most steels and on aluminum alloys, respectively. All gages are 120 ohms in resistance and all include a polyimide encapsulation of the grid. The CEA-Series gages feature extra-large, copper-coated solder tabs. Student Gages are supplied in a standard package quantity of ten gages. Each package of gages contains ten engineering data forms with gage type, resistance, gage factor, transverse sensitivity, and thermal output data which have been compiled specifically for the gages in the package. Because costs are heavily subsidized, Student Gages are provided exclusively for use in those teaching and learning activities which are an integral part of a formal course of study.
