In this Micro-Measurements® iNotes™ video, Darryl Peterson illustrates the final phase of bonding 5KΩ CEA strain gages to aluminum beam. Specifically how to use Model P3 Strain Indicator and Recorder to test Advanced Sensors Technology CEA strain gage that was installed on aluminum beam using M-Bond 200 adhesive.
The Model P3 Strain Indicator and Recorder is a portable, battery-operated instrument capable of simultaneously accepting four inputs from quarter-, half-, and full-bridge strain-gage circuits, including strain-gage-based transducers.
Designed for use in a wide variety of physical test and measurement applications, the P3 functions as bridge amplifier, static strain indicator, and digital data logger.
The P3 can be configured and operated directly from your PC with a separate software application included with each instrument.
Features:
• Four input channels
• Direct reading LCD display
• On-board data storage
• 0 to 2.5Vdc analog output
• Quarter, half and full bridge circuits
• Built-in bridge completion
• 120-, 350- and 1000-ohm dummy gages
• Automatic zero-balancing and calibration
• Intuitive, menu-driven operations
• USB data link
• Operation from keypad or PC
• Portable, lightweight and rugged
• Battery, USB or line-voltage power
• Optional 10-pin transducer connectors

![Application of M-Coat JA Protective Coating.
DYK: M-Coat JA can be applied to vertical or overhanging surfaces.
FEATURES:
• Excellent resistance to moisture.
• Good resistance to chemicals.
• Good protection against mechanical damage.
• Room-temperature cure.
M-Coat JA is a two-part, polysulfide, liquid polymer compound for environmental protection of strain gage installations. When fully cured, it forms a rubber-like covering that provides an effective barrier against water and many other fluids. The tough coating also protects installations from mechanical damage. M-Coat JA has a paste-like consistency when mixed, and can be spread to the desired thickness with a spatula. Because it will not run or sag, M-Coat JA can be applied to vertical or overhanging surfaces. The operating temperature range is from -65° to +250°F [-54° to +121°C] for long-term service, and to +360°F [+182°C] for short-term service. It may be cured at room temperature or at a moderately elevated temperature. The elevated-temperature cure will improve moisture resistance, and is recommended for long-term applications.
