High strain gauges

High strain gauges, also referred to as extensometer strips, are sensors designed to measure very large elongations or deformations in materials subject to significant elongation or deformation. These strain gauges are specifically designed to monitor the performance of materials in situations where traditional strain gauges would not be able to measure the required range of deformations.
