Backing Materials

|
|
| The gage backing (or matrix) supports the grid
during handling and installation, transmits strain
from the specimen to the grid of the bonded gage, and
(in most cases) provides electrical insulation
between the grid and specimen.
E 
Open-faced general-purpose gage with tough, flexible
cast polyimide backing. Various
options
are available, including lead connection features
and protective encapsulation.
CE
Flexible gages with a cast polyimide backing and
encapsulation featuring large, rugged, copper-coated
solder tabs. This construction provides optimum
capability for direct leadwire attachment.
N2
The 'N2' matrix provides an open-faced gage
on a thin, high-performance laminated polyimide film
backing.
S2
Gage grid and solder tabs fully encapsulated in a
thin, flexible, laminated polyimide film. Provided
with large [0.030 in (0.75 mm)] solder pads for ease
of leadwire attachment.
W
Provides a gage fully encapsulated in
glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy-phenolic resin.
High-endurance leadwires.
S
Full encapsulation identical to the W matrix, but
with solder dot connections instead of
leadwires. |
