STRAINSERT ST Series Standard Studs employs an exclusive internal gaging technique (U.S. Patent #2,873,341) to detect the loads
induced in them. This technique consists of the installation of foil type strain gages inside a small hole drilled along the
longitudinal neutral axis of the Stud. This is far superior to the usual external gage installations both in mechanical and
environmental ruggedness. Furthermore, a neatly miniaturized packaging is achieved by using the Stud itself
to protect and seal the strain gage circuit. Still, this
arrangement compares very favorably with the best
external gage ...
