hi pierluk

Look at this site:-

mounting strain gauges depends on the type and what type of stress or strain you are attempting to measure.

Yes, it depends on a lot of factors, including the strain amount, material, surface, etc..

Call Vishay group and talk to a Technician, they should be able to set you up.

thank you to everyone, very interesting material. I will try to read carefully. Do you think it is difficult to learn alone how installing strain gauges?

Hi

Well it makes life easier to learn if you can ask someone who's experienced in this work but no reason why you can't learn for your self

I've installed hundreds of strain gauges and have built the electronics to measure from scratch. Not really difficult, but be sure to calibrate whatever you do. My experience has been in dynamic strain monitoring of moving devices such as amusement rides and industrial equipment. Have done low frequency dynamic (bridge structures) as well.

I've used bonded strain gauges, welded strain gauges, and embedded strain gauges...each has its merits and limitations.
