The C Series strain gauges are the ideal choice for structural tests at exceptional temperature conditions. They have an enormous temperature range and measure precisely even at very low temperatures down to -269 ° C. For a good mechanical flexibility, as well as flexibility and optimum adaptation to the material to be measured, the measuring grid of the C Series consists of a chrome-nickel special alloy on a polyimide foil.
Strain gauges of the C Series have an extremely wide temperature range at a very good price-performance ratio. The strain gauges of the C Series are available with three different geometries and are used, for example, in research and development, in the automotive industry, as well as in power plants and superconductors.
