Full-Bridge Type III

This section provides information for the full-bridge strain-gauge 
configuration type III. The full-bridge type III only measures axial strain.

Figure 14 shows a general full-bridge type III circuit diagram.

Figure 14.  

Full-Bridge Type III Circuit Diagram

The following symbols apply to the circuit diagram and equations:

R

1

 is an active element measuring compressive Poisson effect (–

νε

).

R

2

 is an active element measuring tensile strain (+

ε

).

R

3

 is an active element measuring compressive Poisson effect (–

νε

).

R

4

 is an active element measuring the tensile strain (+

ε

).

Figure 15 shows how to set up two full-bridge type III configurations with 
the SCC-SG04/24.
