High temperature encapsulated

strain gauges are an easy to install

option for field and test applica-

tions at elevated temperatures.

Allowing strain gauge installation

to substrates as hot as 250ºC

without requiring stress raising

spot welds.

Transparent, flexible coating

prevents any risk of gauge grid

contamination still allowing easy

installation with original align-

ment marks.

Pre-wiring with high tempera-

ture soldered or welded lead wires

As well as our range of HT & PU en-

capsulated strain gauges, Gauge Fac-

tors are able to offer Weldable and

Concrete embedment gauges and tailor

made full bridge sets.

Cable types and lead lengths to suit

your needs.
