About the PL Series (Polyester Backing) Wire Straingauge for Concrete

P series polyester wire strain gauge
These are wire strain gauges utilizing a transparent plastic backing impregnated with polyester resin. The gauge length is available in 3 ranges of 60, 90 and 120mm, so it is suited to the measurement of concrete strain. Since the backing is transparent, the bonding position can easily be checked in the installation works.
