About the FAC Series Crack Detection Straingauge
FAC series crack detection gauge
These gauges are designed to measure the propagation speed of fatigue crack in a metal specimen. The gauges are bonded with an adhesive on the position where the crack is initiated or the crack initiation is expected. The grids of the gauges, which are aligned at interval of 0.1mm or 0.5mm, are disconnected one by one with the propagation of the crack. The gauges are used together with the crack gauge adaptor CGA-120B, and the disconnection of one grid is measured as the change of approx. 45 or 40×10-6 strain by a strainmeter.
