1. I am using strain gauge from vishay whose datasheet i have attached.
2. I know that in compression resistance decrease & vice versa.
3. But in datasheet it says only, strain range = 5%. For gf = 2 & R = 1K, total change in resistance will be 100ohms.
Now does that resistance will go 100 ohm down(i.e 900ohm) in case of compression
& in case of tension it will go up 100 ohm (i.e 1100 ohm) to show maximum strain i.e
5% or 50000 microstrain
This is what i am asking?
