Special Purpose Strain Gages - High-Temperature Patterns
FEATURES
• Measurement range to 2100°F (1150°C)
• Free-filament Kanthal alloy grids for bonding with
ceramic adhesives.
• Linear and Tee rosette patterns
ZC-Series strain gages are etched Kanthal (Fe-Cr-Al alloy)
foil grids in free-filament form for high-temperature
applications. They are bonded with either ceramic
adhesives, or by the use of flame spray or Rokide
®
processes.
ZC-Series strain gages cannot be self-temperature
compensated, and a dummy compensating gage must be

used for minimizing of thermally induced apparent strain
(thermal output). Several patterns are available with built-in
compensating grids.
ZC-Series strain gages are supplied with a removable high-
temperature carrier for gage handling during installation. All
patterns have 1in (25.4mm) Nichrome ribbon leads spot
welded to the gage tabs for leadwire attachment.
