Why Weldable Strain Gages?

When adhesives won’t stick, temperatures soar, or field conditions are unpredictable—weldable strain gages deliver reliable, accurate measurements with no cure time or clamping.

 

- No adhesives required

- Portable spot welding

- Extreme environments

- Easy surface prep – minimal tools needed

- Compatible with Model 700B handheld welder

 

Install Anywhere. Measure with Confidence.
