Great performance
Precise. We will keep using this sensor from Omega.

I only buy these when I run out of others.
These gages work fine once I get them installed. But the heavy wire splices near the gage complicates installation. The hook up end is just a tiny bit of bare wire - my preferred brand always makes long tinned ends which can be put directly around a screw terminal.

PRE-WIRED STRAIN GagesS
When it comes to measuring strain in various applications, the convenience and accuracy of the equipment you use can make a significant difference. In this review, we will be discussing the merits of Pre-Wired Strain Gauges, a tool that has increasingly gained popularity in the world of engineering and materials testing.

Easy
Prewired saves me the effort of soldering. I have applied these to over 20 prototype devices that require force feedback. They have functioned reliably for "long" periods of time (2 years and counting) I apply them to Aluminum plates with Loctite 401.

If strain is dimensionless why the maximum strain is given in micrometer?
Hi.
I know strain is dimensionless but, on this website on the description of these strain gauges says maximum strain 50 000 micrometers. My question is why this strain gauges are being rating in micrometers.

How do I wire this strain gauge to Bridge data logger OM-CP-Bridge101A? Which ports on the green connector? How do I monitor 2 strain gauges on this bridge?
Thank you for your inquiry. Either single strain gage or full bridge is supported. Please email our Data Acquisition Group at das@omega.com for complete wiring details.

Whats the difference between the 2-wire and 3-wire configuration? What signal does each wire carry?
Hi, typically 3-wire strain gauges are used for lead wire temperature compensation. If the strain gauge is a 2-wire system, strain output from the bridge is affected by the temperature effect of the lead wire. To avoid such adverse effect, the 3-wire system is adopted. If 3 lead wires are connected to a strain gage, a half lead wire resistance is applied to the adjacent side of a bridge to compensate for the temperature effect of lead wires in bridge output. The temperature effect of the lead wires connected to a measuring instrument outside of the bridge is ignored because the input impedance of the measuring instrument is high. Our Tech Support engineer has also emailed you images to help answer your question. Email us back anytime if you need any further assistance. Thanks

Does each linear pre-wired strain gauge contain a full Wheatstone bridge or would I have to purchase 4 to create one myself?
The KFH is a linear, single grid strain gauge. It is not a full Wheatstone bridge. Our Tech Support has emailed you a diagram of what complete Wheatstone bridge likes. Please contact our Tech Support if you have any further questions. Thank you.

Is this priced per pack of 10?
Thanks for your question. Yes, these are priced per pack of ten.

Can these gauges be reused after being removed from a specimen?
Thank you for your question?
Most strain gauges will not work once they have been removed from a glued surface.
However you can try and have had some customers succeed in doing it onetime.

The price listed is for a 10 pack (Qty. 10) pre-wired strain gauges, correct?
Hello, you are correct, the KFH series is sold as a pack of 10

How to connect wires of this SG to a 3-wire input system with EXC, AI, and RC inputs, such as NI-9236?
Tackoo, thank you for contacting Omega Engineering. Please see page 10 of the NI9236 Manual, the 2 lead wires from the strain gauge will connect to EXC and RC, then you will have to add an external jumper across AI and RC. It might be better to contact NI if you have more wiring questions.
