LI66-10/350

Data Sheet
Strain gages (SG) for
integration in fiber
composite materials

Special features

− User can adapt the SG strain le-

vel through the embedding depth
− Measurement between glued joints
− Installation during the
manufacturing process
− SG protection in the material
− Flow profiles are not affected by
the measuring point
− Measurement at spots that are no
longer accessible after production
