When the axis of primary strain is identified, Columbia Series DT 3617 Strain Sensors are designed to measure planar shear strain forces. Each sensor is a comprehensive, compactand simple-to-install gadget that uses the Columbia DTD 2684 Series Fatigue Monitoring Sensors’ established technology.
Two 1000Ω precision strain gage grids are positioned orthogonally on a one mil polyimide substrate, plus a matched set of 1000 Ω bridge completion components make up the DT 3617 Shear Strain Sensor. The complete gage is constructed in a tough, molded silicone rubber housing with four M22759 26-gauge TFE Insulated aviation lead wires.
The sensor’s bottom surface is a polyimide substrate for active strain gage components, which is pre-processed before being bonded to the test structure. The sensor’s top surface comprises axis identification marking to help in aligning the gage with the principal strain axis.
Individual models for compensating materials typically used in airplane structural production are offered. The Columbia Model 5802 Strain Gage Amplifier is used to boost sensor readings and provide strain and temperature outputs.
