Strain Gage Applications with M-Bond AE-10 up to 400 deg F (204 deg C).

Through extensive testing, the M-Bond AE-10 is now been qualified for use up to 400 deg F (204 deg C).

Because a strain gage performs no better than the adhesive with which it is bonded to the test specimen, the adhesive is a vitally important component in every strain gage sensor installation. Although there is no single adhesive, which is ideally suited to all products, there is a wide selection of authentic and dedicated adhesives for strain gage sensors that cover the spectrum of stress analysis, force measurement testing, and for use in transducers manufacturing.

Micro-Measurements CEA-Series strain gages (sometimes spelled gauge) are the most widely accepted for use in general-purpose experimental stress analysis applications in the world today. These polyimide encapsulated constantan gages feature large, rugged copper-coated tabs. This construction provides optimum capability for attaching leadwires directly to the tabs, eliminating the need for separate terminals. Micro-Measurements Certified M-Bond AE-10 is an excellent adhesive. For proper results, the procedures and techniques presented here should be used with qualified Micro-Measurements installation accessory products.

is it possible to not use all of the jar? I need to bond a lot of gauges, and I don't want to use just one pot for each bonding. thanks you anyway for the tutorial

Is the polyester resin able to be cured faster by putting the specimen into a low temp oven?
