Model:PF Series Polyester Foil Strain Gauge
Use:These are foil strain gauges utilizing a polyester resin backing which is the same as the P series.
These are foil strain gauges utilizing a polyester resin backing which is the same as the P series. The gauge length is available in 3 ranges of 10, 20 and 30mm, so it is suited mainly to strain measurement on concrete or mortar. The backing is transparent and the installation is easy.
