HBM has improved its K-OP optical
strain gages (SGs). They are, for
example, well suited to material tests
of new fiber composites with tests of
up to 10 million load cycles with an
alternating strain of ±5.000µm/m
now possible.
The SGs are based on so-called fiber Bragg gratings which measure strain using pure optical techniques without the need for any electrical signals. This makes them suitable for use in explosive atmospheres, where electro-magnetic interference is present, or in high-voltage applications.
