The choice of the right strain gauge depends on the measuring grid length, mainly because it has a decisive impact on the result of the measurement. The strain gauge determines the arithmetic mean of the strain conditions existing under its measuring grid. This factor needs to be taken into account to answer the question regarding the optimum measuring grid length.
When a short measuring grid is used to measure the strain on inhomogeneous material such as concrete, partial strains in pebbles or individual sections of the hardened cement paste would be measured. In this case, it is essential to comply with the recommendation to use a measuring grid length five times as long the largest aggregate grain size. Taking this into consideration, HBK provides strain gauges with up to 150mm measuring grid length (for instance HBK 1-LY41-150/120).
