Strain Gage Installation Kit SGK-01
Curing with UV light
The Strain Gage Installation Kit allows a fast, easy and reproducible way of installing the fiber optic Strain Gages SG-01 and the fiber optic Strain Gage Chain SGC-01 to various surfaces. Installation of the optical gages happens using a patented methodology which makes use of a specially designed, reusable mounting tool called a sensor pad.
The optical gages can be installed with two different adhesives: a UV-curable adhesive and a cyano-acrylate based rapid curable adhesive.
Installation with the UV-curable adhesive is the preferred method as it is highly controllable. This method requires an extra UV source which is sold as a separate accessory.
Measurement of the FO Strain Gages can be performed using an additionally low-cost interrogation unit, FBG-Scan 700, included with a user friendly software interface. Measurements are directly converted and visualized into real strain values.
