STRAIN GAGE
1/2 BRIDGE LINEAR DIAPHRAGM
The following types of linear diaphragm
strain gages can be used when the
bonding area is larger than the
diaphragm diameter. For example, if a
body has a flat surface with a diameter
of 1" onto which the strain gage is to be
bonded, but a 0.5" diameter hole is
drilled through the body leaving just a
thin layer of material, then this thin
0.5" diameter is the diaphragm. So
the strain gage grids are located above
the thin high stress area and the
leads/solder pads are over the solid part
of the body in the low stress area. This
linear diaphragm pattern has 2 strain
gages mounted onto a single carrier.
These types are used in pairs on a
0.5" diameter diaphragm. The strain
gage closer to center will go into
tension, and the outer gage will go into
compression. Near the center of the
diaphragm the radial and tangential
strains will be positive, and will be nearly
equal. The radial strain decreases and
from the center toward the outer edge of
the diaphragm. The leads/solder pads
are in the low stress area over thicker
material. In this pattern, each carrier
piece has one half-bridge with a
common lead/solder pad. The corners
of the Wheatstone bridge have been
left open for the addition of
zero temperature
compensation resistors, and
zero balance compensation
resistors, if required.
SGT-8/350-LD** and
SGT/500-LD** are used
in pairs on a 0.5" diameter
diaphragm. Below we show
a diagram with 2 pieces of
the SGT-8/350-LD**, shown
as they might be positioned
on a 0.5" diameter diaphragm.
The strain gages have been
numbered and labeled.
Also available is the
SGT-7/350-LD** which offers

and the leads/solder pads are over solid

offers transducer quality, linear
diaphragm pattern strain gages for use in
pressure transducer designs. These
patterns have 4 strain gages mounted
onto a single carrier. The strain gages in
the center will go into tension, and the
outer 2 will go into compression. In the
pressure transducer design, a diaphragm
is clamped around the outer edge, and
subjected to a uniform pressure. Near the
center of the diaphragm the radial and
tangential strains will be positive, and will
be nearly equal. The radial strain
decreases and becomes negative as you
move away from the center toward the
outer edge. Midway between the center
and the outer edge the strain is at its
lowest and the leads/Solder Pads are
located in this low stress area. In these
patterns, there are 2 half-bridges.
Each half-bridge has a common
lead/Solder Pads.
One of the patterns has been enlarged to
show the detail. The strain gages and
terminal pads have been numbered and
labeled. The corners of the Wheatstone
bridge have been left open for the addition
of zero temperature compensation
resistors, and zero balance compensation
resistors if required. Several sizes
are available.
SGT-9/350-LD** can be used for a
0.4" diameter diaphragm.
SGT-12/350-LD** can be used for a
0.5" diameter diaphragm.
SGT-18/350-LD** and SGT-18/1000-LD**
can be used for 0.75 to 0.8" diameter
diaphragms.
SGT-24/350-LD** can be used for
1" diameter diaphragms.
