How VPG Strain Gauges Work
VPG gauges primarily use foil-based sensing technology. When bonded to a surface and subjected to mechanical stress, the foil pattern changes electrical resistance. This change is measured through Wheatstone bridge circuitry, producing highly accurate strain readings.
Their superior foil technology and precise grid geometry ensure: ✔ High linearity ✔ Low hysteresis ✔ Better repeatability ✔ Better noise immunity
