Weldable Strain Gages - Axial |
Axial configured strain gages measure strain in
one principal direction: along the long axis of the
shim. They can be oriented in either the
longitudinal or circumferential direction on the
component being tested, and the shims can be
pre-curved to fit surfaces with small radius
curvatures.
Our waterproof gages are specifically designed to
evaluate and monitor live-load stresses for
railroad, bridge, and other structural applications
and are 100% full water immersion tested.
The precision foil gage is bonded to a stainless
steel shim, pre-wired and protected with a molded
water-proofing material. The stainless steel shim
permits easy field installation with any
conventional capacitive discharge spot welder.
Instrumentation cable and wiring options can be
customized to your specifications. Custom gage sizes
and resistance are also available. Please see the
table below for options.

Waterproof Strain Gages - Chevron |
HPI's Chevron strain gages are designed with two
active elements oriented at right angles (90°) to
each other, bonded to a single shim. Most popular
for the ease and accuracy of Poisson’s Ratio
measurements. (A material loaded in one direction
will undergo strains perpendicular to the direction
of the load as well as parallel to it. The ratio of
the transverse strain to the longitudinal strain is
called Poisson’s Ratio.)
Our waterproof gages are specifically designed to
evaluate and monitor live-load stresses
for railroad, bridge, and other structural
applications and are 100% full water immersion
tested.
The precision foil gage is bonded to a stainless
steel shim, pre-wired and protected with a molded
water-proofing material. The stainless steel shim
permits easy field installation with any
conventional capacitive discharge spot welder.
Instrumentation cable and wiring options can be
customized to your specifications. Custom gage sizes
and resistance are also available. Please see the
table below for options.

Waterproof Strain Gages - Shear/Torque |
HPI Shear configured strain gages are used to
measure the angular distortion that results when a
component is subjected to torque or twisting. The
shear strain gage design is more compact than the
Chevron gage, facilitaing its use where installation
contraints are a concern.
Our waterproof gages are specifically designed to
evaluate and monitor live-load stresses for
railroad, bridge, and other structural applications
and are 100% full water immersion tested.
The precision foil gage is bonded to a stainless
steel shim, pre-wired and protected with a molded
water-proofing material. The stainless steel shim
permits easy field installation with any
conventional capacitive discharge spot welder.
Instrumentation cable and wiring options can be
customized to your specifications. Custom gage sizes
and resistance are also available. Please see the

Waterproof Strain Gages - Rosette |
HPI waterproof rosette strain gages are designed
with three active elements generally configured at
45° angles, but can be designed to customer
specifications. In this configuration, three
linearly independent strain measures are used to
determine the three independent components of plane
strain.
Our waterproof gages are specifically designed to
evaluate and monitor live-load stresses for
railroad, bridge, and other structural applications
and are 100% full water immersion tested.
The precision foil gage is bonded to a stainless
steel shim, pre-wired and protected with a molded
water-proofing material. The stainless steel shim
permits easy field installation with any
conventional capacitive discharge spot welder.
Instrumentation cable and wiring options can be
customized to your specifications. Custom gage sizes
