Features for N11-MA-5-120-11 Strain Gauge

*Almost no effect on test object.

*Distant and multi-point measurements are possible.

*Applicable to both static and dynamic strains.

*Both surfaces being laminated, the gauge grids are entirely protected.

*The gauges, being fitted with leads, are easy to handle.
