FLA-T Series
Temperature Integrated

One of three wires of this strain gage is made of copper-nickel alloy, while other two wires are made of ordinary copper. A T-type thermocouple is composed by a copper-nickel wire and a copper wire. Strain measurement by quarter bridge 3-wire method and temperature measurement by thermocouple are possible with one strain gage. This gage must be measured by TML data loggers.
