The Wheatstone

Bridge

The Wheatstone Bridge Circuit shown in Figure 4-2 is the fundamental
strain measuring circuit.

When a strain gage is wired to a bridge completion channel, it completes the
Wheatstone Bridge circuit as indicated in Figure 4-3. This circuit represents
a

⁄

bridge arrangement where only one arm contains an active element

(strain gage). The other arms are fixed value resistors (as shown) or they
may represent unstrained gages.

In a

⁄

bridge arrangement, the 120

Ω

or 350

Ω

bridge completion resistor is

replaced by a strain gage when the gages are connected to the terminals as
indicated in Figure 4-4.
