Correcting For Wiring Resistance; Correcting For Gage Factor - Hioki MEMORY HiLOGGER LR8450 Instruction Manual

Correcting for wiring resistance

When using long strain gage wires, measurement is affected by their wiring resistance.
True strain values and strain values measured by the instrument are related as shown below.
You can use the scaling function to correct strain values. Set the conversion ratio slope to (R + rL) / R.

Example settings
If using a strain gage with a wiring length of 5 m and a round-trip resistance value of 0.07
meter (with a gage resistance of 120

ε =
i
≈ 1.003 × ε
Set the scaling conversion ratio's slope to 1.003.
See "1.7 Using the Scaling Function" (p. 5 8).

Correcting for gage factor

If using a strain gage with a gage factor other than 2.0
The U8554 and LR8534 measure strain with a gage factor of 2.0.
If using a strain gage with a gage factor other than 2.0, perform the following conversion to set the
scaling function's conversion ratio slope:

Example settings
If using a strain gage with a gage factor of 2.10

Set the scaling conversion ratio's slope to 0.952.

If the instrument (LR8450, -01) and measurement target are located far apart, necessitating long
wiring, you can reduce error caused by wiring resistance by placing a Wireless Strain Module
(LR8534) close to the measurement target to minimize wiring length.
