Hello @dcavalie,

Thank you for your post.

The manufacturer does not give all of those details you mention, but normally for something like that you would use adhesive to mount the gauge to the item you are checking for strain.

The manufacturer does list a few dimensions on their datasheet, but those are mostly length and width.

Hi dcavalie,

Here’s a link to a video which discusses the process of mounting one of their strain gauges to a surface.

The following are links to various resources on the Micro-Measurements website:

Thank you, both, gentlemen. I will consume the media you gave me and contact the manufacturer with specific questions.
