Omega offers a full line of Karma strain gages. Karma strain gages can be used for various static and dynamic applications. Karma strain gages are used for transducer applications where long term stability or higher temperature use is required. When used at room temperature, for static strain measurements, the transducer will have very good stability for months or even for years. Karma strain gages are also suggested for static strain measurement over a wide temperature range from -75 to 200°C (-100 to 392°F) due to its good linearity over this wide temperature range. Karma strain gages are often used for fatigue-rated transducer designs. T e fatigue life of Karma alloy tends to be much better than constantan, and so transducers using Karma strain gages provide good fatigue life. Karma is a nickel-chromium alloy, and was selected as a strain gage material for it’s modulus-compensating capabilities which tends to significantly reduce span shift in transducer design.
