The gauge factor of a strain gauge is the ratio of relative change in electrical resistance to the mechanical strain. The gauge factor of these sensors can vary depending on the strain gauge material or the type of strain sensor used.
The resistive strain gauge is one of the most popular sensors used to measure strain or force applied an object. The amount of force or stress in the object can be inferred from the change in the sensor resistance as the object is stretched or compressed.
A strain gage with a GF of 2 exhibits a change in electrical resistance of only Figure 4. Strain gages are configured in Wheatstone bridge circuits to detect small changes in resistance. 2 (500 x 10-6) = 0.1%. For a 120 Ω gage, this is a change of only 0.12 Ω.
You can obtain the nominal gage resistance of a particular gage from the sensor vendor or sensor documentation. The most common nominal resistance values of commercial strain gages are 120 Ω, 350 Ω, and 1000 Ω. Consider a higher nominal resistance to reduce the amount of heat generated by the excitation voltage.
