Training Courses - PU Encapsulated Strain Gauges
The following courses can be tailored to specific applications.
The modules are for 2/3 people per session, lasting approximately 1-3 days. Each person trained will receive comprehensive, hands-on experience, being guided through each step of the process.
Module 1
Installation of GF PU-encapsulated gauges using Cyanoacrylate adhesives. Module 1 instructs you in the following areas:
- Surface preparation (using power tools where appropriate)
- Alignment & marking
- Strain gauge installation Inspection & test
- Inspection & test
- Protective coating
Module 2
Installation of GF PU-encapsulated gauges using room temperature cure epoxy adhesives. Module 2 follows the same format as Module 1 but includes Strain Gauge Installation, including Clamping Methods.
Module 3
Installation of Weldable strain gauges. Module 3 follows the same format as module 1 but includes Strain Gauge Installation, using a Low Energy Spot Welder.
Module 4
Installation of HT encapsulated strain gauges to hot substrates (120°C to 270°C ).
Module 4 follows the same format at module 1.
Module 5
Installation of standard strain gauges using Cyanoacrylate adhesive. Module 5 follows the same format at module 1.
Module 6
Installation of standard strain gauges using Room temperature cure epoxy adhesive. Module 6 follows the same format at module 2.
Module 7
Soldering techniques. ½ day training course covering Basic Soldering & Wiring Techniques for Inter-gauge Wiring.
