R

is the active strain-gauge element measuring tensile strain (+
ε
).
•
V
EX
is the excitation voltage.
•
R
L
is the lead resistance.
•
V
CH
is the voltage measured.
To convert voltage readings to strain units, use the following equation:
where
•
R
g
is the nominal gauge resistance.
•
R
L
is the lead resistance.
•
ν
is the Poisson’s ratio.
•
GF
is the gauge factor.
To simulate the effect on strain of applying a shunt resistor across R
3
,
use the following equation:
Notes
In half-bridge type I, R
4
is mounted along the principal axis of the stress field
and R
3
is mounted transverse to the axis of the stress field. Use this configuration in
applications where no stress exists along the axis of the transverse strain gauge.
The nominal values of R
3
and R
4
equal
R
g
.
Strain gauges need not have a particular STC number.
As shown in Figure 2-5,
Half-Bridge Type I Circuit Diagram
, for greatest calibration
accuracy, use separate wires between the bridge and the shunt calibration pins SCA (pin 4)
and SCCOM (pin 5). Do not directly short SCA (pin 4) or SCCOM (pin 5) inside your
connector unless the strain-gauge leads are short and have minimal lead resistance.
You can neglect lead resistance (
R
L
) of the wiring if shunt calibration is performed or if lead
length is very short (
∼
<10 ft), depending on the wire gauge. For example 10 ft of 24-AWG
copper wire has a lead resistance of 0.25
Ω
.
