    TECHNICAL INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR MEASUREMENT 12. TECHNICAL INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR MEASUREMENT 12-1. STRAIN GAGE NONLINEARITY The ideal bridge output for strain measurement is: ε ⋅ ⋅ Output voltage Gage factor ε: Strain value Voltage applied to bridge If one side of a wheatstone bridge is used as the strain gage and only that side changes, there will be nonlinearity generated in the relationship between the strain value and output voltage.

  • Page 315: Dummy Gage Usage

    TECHNICAL INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR MEASUREMENT 12-2. DUMMY GAGE USAGE The true dummy method is used by KYOWA UCAM Series Data Loggers. This method uses software to effectively eliminate apparent strain caused by the linear expansion coefficient of the measured object (object being tested) when the ambient temperature changes.
  • Page 316 TECHNICAL INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR MEASUREMENT (2) Common dummy method In this method, the active gages are switched in sequence and bridge excitation voltage is applied only when measurement is performed. On the other hand, bridge excitation voltage is applied to the dummy gage every time an active gage is measured. The impact of self-generated heat therefore will be different between the active and dummy gages, making it difficult to provide complete temperature compensation.
  • Page 317 TECHNICAL INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR MEASUREMENT * Calculations when setting true dummy For the active gage, compensation is performed using the dummy gage nearest that active gage (that is, with the smaller measurement channel number). Example: 1-gage 120 Ω_D set to CH0 and CH3, 1-gage 120 Ω_A set to CH1/CH2/CH4, and then measurement performed Dummy Active...

    TECHNICAL INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR MEASUREMENT 12-3. LEAD WIRE TEMPERATURE EFFECT COMPENSATION METHOD (3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION METHOD) When using a SELCOM gage, if the lead wire from the gage to the bridge circuit is long, the change in the resistance of the lead wire due to temperature will show as apparent strain.

    TECHNICAL INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR MEASUREMENT 12-5. COMPENSATION WHEN LEAD WIRE OR CABLE IS LONG If a long lead wire is used for 1-gage method or 2-gage method connections, a bridge circuit will be created where the resistance of the unnecessary lead wire will be introduced Gage resistance value + Lead wire resistance value in series with the strain gage, reducing the apparent gage factor.
