BACKING MATERIALS
Type Polyimide Film: 0.003 [0.08mm] thick. This preferred generalpurpose backing material. more flexible conformable than Type although strong. Type backing combines high-temperature capability, resistance soldering damage good electrical properties. suitable long-term +450° +500°F [+230° +260°C], limited primarily gradual oxidation copper foil interface. relatively high thermal expansion coefficient unfilled polyimide cause loss bond temperatures below -100°F [-75°C]. Type Epoxy-Glass Laminate: 0.005 [0.13mm] thick. This special laminate provides strong flexible backing terminals. suitable long-term +300°F [+150°C], recommended cryogenic applications temperatures down -452°F [-269°C]. radius curvature mounting surface should generally greater than [3mm].

With solid wire solders, necessary separate, externally applied fluxes. Even with rosin-core solders, flux helpful when soldering fine jumper wires gage tabs printed-circuit terminals, because enough flux released from cored solder. also necessary supplement cored flux high-temperature solders such Type 570. fluxing compounds available strain gage soldering applications. M-Flux active noncorrosive rosin flux that effective constantan, copper, nickel. M-Flux very active acid flux that used primarily with solid-wire solders applied isoelastic K-alloy gages, stainless steel. fluxes should never mixed. Whether rosin acid flux used, must completely removed immediately after soldering prevent degradation protective coatings corrosion metals, eliminate conductive flux residues. Rosin residues best removed with M-LINE Rosin Solvent. Removal M-Flux requires steps: liberal applications M-Prep Conditioner which must blotted dry; then M-Prep Neutralizer also blotted dry.

Strain gage performance easily degraded effects moisture, chemical attack, mechanical damage. result, gages require varying degrees protection according severity environment which they must operate. While often practical operate fully encapsulated gages without additional protection, laboratory applications, open-faced gages should always covered with suitable coating soon possible after installation. coating compounds described following pages have been formulated specifically protecting strain gage installations from damaging environmental conditions. range materials adequate handling majority gage protection requirements. air-conditioned laboratory, instance, single layer M-Coat would

However, application technique also important factor performance gage protection system. therefore good practice, particularly case long-term installations, verify test that system performs required.
APPLICATION NOTES PROTECTIVE COATINGS
long-term tests, particularly hostile environments, carefully clean surface before applying protective coating. Coating extending into uncleaned areas will eventually loosen. When several layers coating required, extend each overcoat beyond previous layer. Incomplete protection around leadwires common cause moisture penetration into gage installations. (Many commercial leadwire insulations contain pinholes.) Seal wire splices with HST-1 Heat Shrinkable Tubing. Before applying protective coating unprotected installation that been exposed high humidity, installation thoroughly. coating room-temperature-curing type, moisture absorption rate decreased postcuring elevated temperature. Generally, thick coating offers more resistant path moisture absorption than thin one. further vapor barrier, apply intermediate layer metal foil (aluminum, such M-Coat FA-2, stainless steel), Teflon® film (first treated with TEC-1 TetraEtch® compound optimum bond). Since moisture only penetrate around edges foil film, path gage much longer. evaluate protective coatings long-term testing, monitor zero-shift gage. Resistance-to-ground measurements also indicate deterioration.
