Kyowa offers a specialist range of strain gauges designed for demanding measurement applications, rather than just standard general-purpose strain measurement. Options include gauges for high and low temperatures, underwater and waterproof measurement, hydrogen environments, high elongation, concrete and composites, bolt tension, crack monitoring and PCB testing. They are available in a wide range of configurations, including uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial designs.
Reliable foil gauges for everyday stress and deformation measurement across metals and standard engineering materials.
Designed for materials such as CFRP and GFRP, these gauges minimise errors caused by temperature changes and material reinforcement effects.
Compact semiconductor gauges with high sensitivity for applications where space is limited or strain levels are very small.
A built-in spring mechanism keeps the cable taut at all times, automatically retracting it as the target returns, ready for the next measurement cycle.
Monitoring bridges, buildings, dams, and other infrastructure to ensure long-term structural integrity.
Measuring stress on vehicle frames, aircraft components, and critical mechanical parts during development.
Studying how metals, composites, and plastics behave under tension, compression, and repeated loading.
Measuring load, torque, and vibration in machinery and production equipment.
For hydrogen gas, standard strain gauges often fail due to hydrogen’s effect on electrical resistance and potential embrittlement, therefore requiring specialized gauges.
These foil strain gages are capable of obtaining stable strain measurements in high-pressure hydrogen gas environments with less change in electrical resistance due to hydrogen, compared with conventional foil strain gauges.
