CEA Strain Gage Installation with M-Bond 200 Adhesive (Training Video) - Micro-Measurements

Micro-Measurements CEA-Series gages 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 200 is an excellent general-purpose laboratory adhesive because of its fast room-temperature cure and ease of application. For proper results, the procedures and techniques presented here should be used with qualified Micro-Measurements installation accessory products.

Hi there,

can I use normal transparent tape to apply the gages instead of the PCT-2M tape?
Will there be any kind of damage to the gages or a decrease in adhesion?

Thanks a lot, great video!
