About the LFLA Series for Wood or Gypsum Use

LF series low elastic strain gauge
These are foil strain gauges for the measurement on materials having low elastic modulus such as wood or gypsum. These specially designed grid reduces the stiffening effect of the strain gauges to the specimen material. They have a backing made of epoxy resin. These gauges are temperature-compensated for the material having a coefficient of thermal expansion of 11×10-6/°C.
