Strain Gage Designation
System
|
The general-purpose strain gages available from
Micro-Measurements are designated by a standard
designation system:
BB
A
-
SS
-
GGG
PP
-
RRR
Option
X
These designations represent many thousands of
possible combinations of backing material (
BB
), foil alloy (
A
), self-temperature-compensation (
SS
), gage length (
GGG
) and pattern (
PP
), resistance (
RRR
), and optional features (
X
). In selecting the most suitable gage for each
application, consideration must be given to
variations in each of these parameters. Complete
details are outlined in Vishay Measurements Group
Tech Note TN-505,
