Weldable Strain Gages for Harsh Environments-Adhesive-Free. Field-Ready. Proven Where It Matters

 

Engineered for field installations where adhesives fail. Trusted in bridges, pipelines, heavy machinery, and high-heat automotive systems

 

 

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.
