Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Dec 17, 2008

HBM has launched a one-component silicone rubber covering agent for installed strain gauges.

The SG 200 covering agent forms a waterproof, electrically-insulated layer over the measuring point, by absorbing humidity at ambient temperature to protect the strain gauge from mechanical damage, water and humidity.

HBM has launched a one-component silicone rubber covering agent for installed strain gauges.

The material is opaque and renders the strain gauge installation virtually invisible, giving added protection against tampering.

It is available in 85g tubes and is applied directly to the strain gauge and its surrounding area.

The measuring point is ready for use within 24 to 96 hours, depending on the layer thickness, when the layer is fully formed.

SG 200 can be used in temperature ranges of -55C to +200C, and a single tube is sufficient for covering about 20 measuring points.
