Strain gauge training workshops around UK

Some training workshops are to be organised by the BSSM and Vishay Measurements Group, to introduce the theory and application of strain gauges

The applications engineers of Vishay Measurements Group will give a brief introduction to basic strain gauge theory, gauge performance charactersistics, adhesives and application techniques.

This will be followed by a practical demonstration of the methods of attaching strain gauges, installing leads and applying protective coatings.

There will be an opportunity for hands-on participation, for which 15 places are available.

In addition others will be able to closely observe and ask questions.

All participants will be able to seek advice on specific issues.

A range of the Vishay Measurements Group technical and educational products will be available for inspection.

The techniques employed in these workshops are to BSSM Standards.

The BSSM Strain Gauge Installation Certificate is awarded to candidates who demonstrate that they can install gauge systems to BSSM Strain Gauge Standards.

Examinations for the Society Certificate are held three times a year in different centres in the UK.

Details will be available at these workshops.

The next scheduled workshops are in Glasgow in March 2008, and in Sheffield in July.
