Strain gages - usage and calibration

[richford]

Hey guys,

I am using a strain gage and am having some trouble calibrating it. Strainmatics shows a simulated microstrain value of 1221, and a thermal correction of 0.175. I am wondering, at an operating temperature of 250 F, shouldn't thermal correction be more than that?

Thanks. If you need to see strainmatics calibration report for more details, please let me know.

Hi Rich

We´re also playing around with stain gauges... You can send me the report an I can show it to our people and see if anyone can help.
