Transducer-Class® Strain Gages
SERIES
gages encapsulated, modified-Karma-alloy patterns specially constructed improve gage performance elevated temperatures. Because laminated polyimide-film backing encapsulation, patterns fully flexible without being brittle. Copper soldering pads (DP) exposed simplified lead connections. Some gages supplied with modulus-compensation (EMC) options. best high-temperature performance, J5K-Series gages should installed with M-Bond high-temperature adhesive.
SERIES
gages family platinum-tungsten-alloy patterns constructed with thin, flexible polyimide backing. Sensing grids fully encapsulated polyimide film overlay include preformed solder each gage tab. With gage factor more than double that conventional strain gages, platinum-tungsten-alloy patterns provide standard transducer output levels less than half normal spring-element stress values. This allows higher overload safety, increased fatigue life, improved linearity many transducer designs. negative gage-factor-versus-temperature slope also provides modulus compensation many types steel transducer spring elements. relatively high thermal output platinum-tungsten alloy makes precision static measurements difficult.
SERIES
gages platinum-tungsten alloy patterns constructed with thin, flexible, glass-fiber-reinforced polyimide film backing. Sensing grids unencapsulated solder tabs fully exposed. Platinum-tungsten alloy quite easy solder using conventional rosin type fluxes. Series gages have same beneficial high gage factor Series, useful same applications.

Creep Modulus Compensation
Vishay Micro-Measurements
Transducer-Class® Strain Gages
CREEP COMPENSATION
Commercial transducers regularly achieve creep specification less than 0.02% full scale (FS) 20-minute test. attain this level high production basis, usually necessary match strain gage's creep characteristic spring element creep. Most Transducer-Class® gages adjusted design exhibit either positive negative creep under load. Spring element materials exhibit only positive creep under load. (See figure below.)
Positive Creep Zero Creep Transducer Output Negative Creep
Properly matched transducer spring element, these (Effective Modulus Compensation) gages provide very good self-correction changes transducer span versus temperature. compensation better than 0.0008%/°F 0.0014%/°C] readily achieved many cases. While this first appear "ideal" strain gage transducers, there certain factors that should considered prior selecting gages given application: gages cost more than other gages. most cases difference great enough offset additional cost span/temperature resistors. gages must "matched" transducer spring material. Depending degree compensation accuracy desired, standard options yield "best fit" compensation spring material use. these cases, special foil which possesses desired compensation would required. There normally minimum order requirement set-up charge special foil lots. Transducer spring materials have batch-tobatch repeatability sufficient maintain specifications when using same gages. material testing therefore necessary high precision units. Despite these limitations, gages often advantageous transducer manufacturers. following standard options available: OPTION Gage factor slope -1.50% 100°F [-2.70% 100°C]. Provides span-versus-temperature compensation many stainless steels. OPTION Gage factor slope -2.35% 100°F [-4.23% 100°C]. Provides span-versus-temperature compensation most aluminum alloys. OPTION Gage factor slope -1.25% 100°F [-2.25% 100°C]. Provides span-versus-temperature compensation many tool steels. OPTION Gage factor slope -1.35% 100°F [-2.43% 100°C]. Provides "mid-range" compensation between

Time
Since transducer creep depends several variables such spring element material, heat treatment, strain field, adhesive type test temperature, possible predict proper gage compensation necessary achieve best creep result. Most gages this catalog list available creep compensation code. Since possible predetermine creep characteristics particular transducer, suggested that standard creep code ordered quantities sufficient evaluate three four transducers. Where creep levels high enough warrant correction, different creep compensation, either more negative more positive, depending test results, often recommended. complicating factor creep code selection that while different gage patterns list same creep code, they necessarily exhibit same creep behaviour. This because gage backing selection, gridline width gage length also influence creep characteristics. should also noted that this type creep correction generally limited transducers exhibiting less than 0.1% creep. Higher creep levels positive direction often result poor spring element material selection. Negative creep values excess 0.1% generally result faulty gage installation.
MODULUS COMPENSATION (EMC) OPTION
Many K-alloy gages this catalog available special form which permits gage factor change with temperature adjusted over wide range during gage manufacture.

Bondable Resistors Transducers
Vishay Micro-Measurements
Introduction Designation System
Vishay Micro-Measurements manufactures variety fixed, adjustable, combination bondable resistors many applications where precise resistance required. Appropriate patterns available both high types. Widest transducer bridge circuits compensate small temperature-induced errors adjust bridge-balance output.1 Figure facing page) shows typical application. Various foil types, sizes, patterns available, allowing selection optimum resistor specific applications. Resistors normally produced open-faced flexible polyimide backings. recommended temperature range +350°F [-20° +175°C] type +300°F [-20° +150°C] Standard packaging bondable resistors package.
RESISTANCE TOLERANCES
A-Pattern resistors have fixed values (selected user) supplied with tight tolerances. With adjustable types, impractical supply precise values. Most resistors will within specified nominal values, occasionally resistances will fall outside that range. various cutting steps will follow same trend.
RECOMMENDED ADHESIVES
M-Bond 610, M-Bond 43-B M-Bond adhesive should used operation over widest temperature range. Other standard strain gage adhesives acceptable within their recommended temperature limits. special backing treatment used permits good bond formation with strain gage adhesives except solvent-evaporation-setting type. Resistors should mounted areas strain (preferably less than 500µ) relatively flat surfaces. possible, grids should aligned with direction lowest strain.
TEMPERATURE-COMPENSATED RESISTORS
Temperature-compensated alloy alloy available several resistor patterns. They normally stocked both S-T-C steel S-T-C aluminum. difficulty directly soldering alloy, resistors supplied with copper soldering (DP) each tab.
INSTALLATION WIRING
resistor patterns should bonded mounting surface before adjustment use. Prepare specimen surface install resistor using standard strain gage materials techniques. Install leadwires, solder attachment tabs with appropriate solder. After thorough flux removal, blot with clean sponges, allow surface resistor completely. Attach leadwires appropriate resistance-measuring instrument adjust resistor described "Adjustment Instructions" until desired resistance achieved.
TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE RESISTORS
Three different foil materials available variety compensation requirements. Nickel Pure nickel highest resistance-versustemperature sensitivity three available foil types normally selected span-versus-temperature compensation. ordered fixed resistance value Pattern) adjustable Pattern). temperature coefficient resistance (TCR) nickel +0.33%/°F [+0.59%/°C] over temperature range +50° +150°F [+10° +65°C]. Balco® Although having slightly lower than nickel, Balco higher resistivity, which makes higher resistance values more easily obtained. also some price advantage over nickel. Balco +0.24%/°F [+0.43%/°C] over temperature range +50° +150°F [+10° +65°C]. Note: Since resistance-versus-temperature nickel Balco linear function, values given chord slopes over specified temperature range. Copper Pure copper lowest three materials also very resistivity. This makes ideal minor adjustments when used corner compensation approach (see Fig. Copper also more linear than either Balco nickel. When used spanversus-temperature correction, copper produce more linear span compensation some transducer designs. Copper +0.22%/°F [+0.40%/°C].

PATTERNS
resistance values listed these patterns maximum obtainable after cutting ladder steps except rung each row. Pattern, resistance measured between terminals with corresponding shunt cut. Referring pattern diagram resistor, when cutting progressively upward center ladder, each step will correspond roughly increment 5.6% RMAX. outside ladders provide finer adjustment with each upward step, about 3.4% RMAX. shunt each network Pattern reduces uncut resistance approximately 25%, reduces adjustment increments ladders about increase resolution. With shunts uncut, resistance changes produced cutting each upward step ladders through percentage RMAX approximately 2.8%, 1.7%, 3.4%, 3.4%, 1.7% 2.8%, respectively. RMIN these patterns about 0.08 RMAX. With shunts cut, Pattern essentially resistors with common solder tab.
PATTERNS
Patterns resistors adjusted (increase resistance) cutting various foil bars. Using appropriate degree magnification (preferably under stereoscopic zoom microscope), locate cutting points resistor pattern. Cuts made with scalpel blade, with tool made slightly flattening dental probe (VMM Part DPR-1). Lightly through each shorting lift center section, leaving path clear foil. Care must taken avoid cutting through backing specimen. approximate cuts produce desired overall pattern resistance estimated from following information appropriate pattern; however, many variations employed experimentation required determine optimum cutting sequence. example: steps progressively downward starting from ladder (for above patterns), very small changes resistance produced. Cuts made this manner will represent larger changes step nearest large solder tabs approached. Note that actual resistance increase caused cutting given step vary nominal value. Therefore, desirable plan series cuts that will allow final resistance value approached slowly enough avoid overadjustment. Fine adjustment also achieved gently polishing active portions network with 325-mesh alumina powder. This procedure recommended when maximum stability required, however. Pattern resistance changes produced cutting various adjustment steps specified terms RMIN, uncut pattern resistance. tabulated data typical, were obtained cutting progressively upward starting with step nearest soldering tabs each respective ladder.

Bondable Terminals
Vishay Micro-Measurements
Terminal Details Descriptions
many types strain gages (such Vishay-MicroMeasurements EA-Series), instrument leadwires generally should attached directly solder tabs gage. Instead, normal practice install bondable terminals adjacent gage, solder instrument leadwires these. Small, flexible jumper wires, curved form strainrelief loops, then connected from terminals gage solder tabs. accompanying drawings show typical strain gage terminal installations (see also Application Note TT-603. "The Proper Bondable Terminals Strain Gage Applications").

TERMINAL CONSTRUCTION
Vishay Micro-Measurements bondable terminals specially designed strain gage circuits. They produced from 0.0014-in [0.036-mm] thick, copper foil, laminated either types backing material. Both backings readily bondable with strain gage adhesives. Terminals offered four different geometries, range sizes suit varying gage installation needs. Terminal Foil
Copper
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].
