Welcome Educators!
Micro-Measurements is committed to supporting the educational community through product offerings and programs designed to aid engineering and technology students, and engineering educators. We believe that strain gage (gauge) technology should be included as an integral part of a well-balanced engineering or engineering technology education.

Our Education Programs
Micro-Measurements has provided more than four decades of educational support, including discounts on general-purpose strain gages (gauges); a selection of Student Strain Gages; an extended warranty program for instrumentation purchased for use in the teaching laboratory; and Experiments in Mechanics, a series of exercises designed around the simple cantilever beam that's intended to teach mechanics using experimental stress analysis technology as the teaching medium.

Student Strain Gages are a group of three Micro-Measurements CEA-Series strain gages specially designed and priced for making strain measurements in the teaching laboratory. They are manufactured from the same materials, by the same processes, and to the same high-quality standards as our regular line of strain gages.
All Student Gages have encapsulated 120 Ω constantan metal foil grids on tough, flexible polyimide backings, with copper coated solder tabs and are produced in both 06 ppm/°F and 13 ppm/°F self-temperature compensations for use on most steels and on aluminum alloys, respectively. The extra-large, copper-coated tabs of the CEA-Series gages enable the soldering of leadwires directly to the gage without the need for an additional terminal strip.
Pre-Gaged Beams are instrumented with Micro-Measurements temperature-compensated foil strain gages. The strain gage installations are fully wired and are covered with a clear protective coating. In addition, all installations are factory tested for resistance, stability, and freedom from creep. Beams ship with a copy of the corresponding Experiment in Mechanics. Also see our educators Pregaged Beams and Canilever Beams.
