High Temperature

Kyowa high-temperature strain gauges are engineered for accurate strain measurement in environments where standard gauges cannot operate reliably due to heat. They feature heat-resistant materials such as polyimide bases and specialized foil or encapsulated constructions that allow them to withstand elevated temperatures while maintaining signal integrity.

Key aspects of the range:

• High-temperature foil gauges like the KFU and KH series are designed for continuous operation at temperatures up to around 350 °C, ideal for hot structural tests and material stress analysis. These models often support spot welding for secure installation and can be matched with adhesives or welding for durable mounting.

• Mid-temperature variants such as the KFHB series provide reliable measurements up to approximately 250 °C, offering excellent thermal stability with low output drift over the specified range.

• Encapsulated strain gauges (e.g., KHC and KHCX types) extend performance into extreme temperature environments, capable of static/dynamic strain measurement from cryogenic levels to very high temperatures — in some cases up to around 950 °C — making them suitable for aerospace, power generation, furnace testing, and petrochemical applications.
