Results of calibrations to determine axial and transverse strain sensitivities are presented for 15 types of single-element, multistrand wire strain gage.
Tests were made to determine the important performance characteristics for six types of bakelite-bonded wire strain gages commercially available and in current use by the aircraft industry. Results on the following characteristics are presented: (1) uniformity of calibration factors for individual gages of the same type, (2) variation of calibration factor with temperature, (3) creep, (4) effect of current on gage resistance, and (5) variation of gage resistance with temperature.
An analysis is presented of the factors determining the power efficiency of radiation thermopiles of that type in which the receivers consist either of parts of the conductors themselves or of coatings or other electrically insulating materials in intimate contact with these conductors. On the basis of this analysis, which is applicable to thermopiles of a wide variety of constructions and materials, criterions for maximum power efficiency can be calculated. Such criterions are obtained for a silver-constantan plated-type thermopile. The design and construction of thermopiles in accordance with these criterions are described, and test data are reported, showing agreement between actual and predicted performance.
Through the addition of a nonlinear amplifier stage the reading of the instrument has been rendered proportional to the velocity.
