KFWB
Waterproof Foil |
The KFWB seres foil strain gauges have the surface covered with a special resin for waterproofing. The waterproof structure enables these gauges to serve for outdoor or underwater measurement merely by being bonded to measuring objects. The insulation resistance shows virtually no deterioration even after 100 hours of use under underwater pressure of approximately 10 MPa. In addition, the covering resin is flexible enough to enable easy bonding to curved surfaces. |

KFWS
Small-sized Waterproof Foil |
The KFWS series foil strain gauges are small-sized waterproof gauges suitable for outdoor or underwater strain measurement where gauge bonding space is limited. The waterproofing resin is as thin as 1.3 mm, making them flexible enough to be bonded to a curved surface of 10 mm diameter. |

KCW
Weldable Waterproof Foil |
The KCW foil strain gauge are weldable gauge, which does not require any coating treatment for use under high pressure or under water. They are available in 2 types: G10 with 1 gauge and G14S with 4 gauges. The G10 type endures a water pressure of approximately 10 MPa. |

KFRPB
for Composite Materials |
The KFRPB series foil strain gauges are self-temperature-compensation gauges (SELCOM gauges) suitable for strain measurement of composite materials such as CFRP and GFRP. The special gauge pattern minimizes the effect of self-heating due to gauge current and the effect of reinforcement of low-elasticity materials. To ensure accurate measurement by avoiding the self-heating effect of gauge current, consider the following: 1. Select a lower bridge excitation if the amplifier allows selection. 2. Active-dummy method. 3. 350Ω strain gages |

KFRS
for Printed Boards |
PCB are used for varieties of products including mobile phones, car navigation systems and digital cameras. To evaluate the mechanical and thermal characteristics of these PCB, the KFRS gauges were developed by integrating the advantageous features of KFG and KFR gauges. |
