A strain gauge usually as a label on it indicating two things ,
the range and so many mV/V output.
If the range is 0 - 2 te and the mV/V is 1.5mV/V we then need to know the excitation voltage(V) of the instrument feeding the strain gauge.If the excitation voltage is 10 V then at the top end of the strain gauge (2te) the output of the strain gauge is 1.5mV X 10 =15mV.
The mV output is indicated for it's range (2te) but is linear throughout the range therefor for half the range 1te the mV output is halved to 0.75 x 10 = 7.5mV.
0te - 0mV
0.5te - 3.75mV
1te - 7.5mV
1.5te - 11.25mV
2te - 15mV
You can increase the sensitivity of a force sensor using a strain gauge by either increasing the gauge factor (by using materials with higher sensitivity to strain) or by increasing the strain applied to the gauge (by increasing the length or width of the gauge). Both methods will increase the change in resistance of the strain gauge in response to applied force, resulting in higher sensitivity.
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.
Factors affecting the accuracy of strain gauges include temperature fluctuations, mechanical stress on the gauge, incorrect mounting techniques, and electrical noise interference. These factors can lead to variations in the resistance of the strain gauge, impacting the accuracy of the strain measurement.
A voltage divider is an electrical circuit that divides the input voltage into smaller output voltages. It consists of two resistors connected in series. The output voltage is determined by the ratio of the two resistors. The formula for calculating the output voltage is Vout Vin (R2 / (R1 R2)), where Vin is the input voltage, R1 is the resistance of the first resistor, R2 is the resistance of the second resistor, and Vout is the output voltage.
Calibration of a pressure gauge involves comparing its readings to a known standard - in this case, a standard mass. The process typically involves applying different masses to the gauge to simulate different pressure levels and measuring the output. By comparing the actual output to the expected output based on the applied masses, any discrepancies can be identified and the gauge can be adjusted accordingly to improve its accuracy.

Advantages and disadvantages of strain gauge
"Mechanical Strain gauges" do not have inductance. There are many types of strain gauge: Mechanical, photoelastic, electrical etc.... Are you wanting the inductance of an electrical strain gauge? if so which type?
it is more sensitive small gauge size low hysteresis
