The use of strain gauges in the Kenyan industry for measurement

David Kimetto
Abstract:
The rapid development of micro-electronics has produced an increasing demand for small sensors offering high quality performance. Strain gauges are an important aid in all areas of experimental stress analysis, for determining the strain on the surface of components. In addition, the uses of strain gauges in the manufacture of transducers for measuring mechanical quantities has proven to be extremely reliable technology, giving excellent results.
