A strain gage is used to measure the strain, or local deformation, of an object. As the object deforms to stress, the gage also is deformed and its electrical resistance is changed. This change is then measured.

What is difference between strain gauge and extensometer?

Strain gage and Extensometer both are same purpose to check the stress and strain in selective test pieces, but traditional they were using strain gage its take the preparation time is high and Extensometer we are check the directly both results are same.


How do you calibrate strain gauges?

The strain gage indicates strain, and the stress is from Hooke's law; stress = modulus times strain so you need to know the modulus of elasticity

Can you measure the strain on a glass bottle by attaching a strain gage?

Yes you can. All materials experience microstrain. The mesurement of the microstrain on a glass bottle comes down to successfully attaching the right type of strain gauge to the glass.

What is a strain gauge used for and how does it work in measuring mechanical strain?

A strain gauge is a device used to measure mechanical strain, which is the deformation of an object under stress. It works by changing its electrical resistance in response to the strain applied to the object it is attached to. This change in resistance is then converted into a measurable electrical signal that can be used to determine the amount of strain the object is experiencing.
