Bestech Australia -
Bestech supplies a range of metal foil strain gauges both for transducer applications and stress analysis. For applications that require high gauge factor, semiconductor strain gauges are also available. Depending on the direction and kind of strain to be measured, linear, biaxial, rosette, shear, torsion etc. type strain gauges can be used. They can be customized to suit customer's application. Bestech carries a large stock of these strain gauges.
Types of Strain gauges for various applications:
- General purpose foil gauge: General purpose, stress concentration, torque, etc.
- Waterproof gauge: Integral lead wire gauge with waterproof coating of epoxy resin
- Temperature integrated gauge: Thermocouple is integrated
- Polyester backing foil gauge: For metal and mortar
- Polyester backing gauge: For concrete and mortar
- Wood strain gauge: Long term measurement on wood
- Metal backing gauge: Used for concrete surface
- Magnetic field use: Available with twisted or shielded lead wire
- Mold gauge: Embedded in concrete or mortar for loading test on concrete or mortar
- Asphalt strain gauge: Waterproofing and heat resistance up to 200°C in placement of asphalt
- Foil gauge for composite material: For composite materials such as carbon glass fiber
- Post-yield gauge: Large strain measurement
- Foil gauge for wood and gypsum: For low elastic modulus materials
- Foil gauge for plastics: Temperature compensated for acrylic or epoxy resin
- Foil gauge for cryogenic temperature: Usable down to -196°C
- Foil gauge for high temperature: Usable up to 300°C
- Stress gauge: Measures stress in the gauge axis directly
- Weldable gauge: Installed by spot welding
- Bolt gauge: Embedded in a pre-drilled hole of a bolt for axial strain measurement
- One-side gauge: Separated measurement of bending and axial strains of a plate
- Crack gauge: For Metal; Measures length of crack
Bestech also carries a range of strain gauge installation accessories likebondable resistors, bondable terminals, strain gauge adhesives, protective coatings & sealants, conditioner, neutralizer, solvent, spot welder, installation kit, gauge protector, strain checker etc. To complete your measurement there are bridge completion modules, single and multichannel electronics with USB or analogue output.
These strain gauges are available in Australia and New Zealand from Bestech Australia Pty Ltd.
