Abstract
This paper covers recent advancements in the development and application of high-temperature strain gages for stress measurements in jet engines. Development of high-temperature strain gages can be divided into three areas: (1) alloys, (2) cements, and (3) fabrication and application techniques. In the Aircraft Gas Turbine Division, the measurement of vibratory stress and static stress are both of primary importance. For vibratory stress measurement, a high-temperature strain gage has been developed which will operate at temperatures up to 1500 F continuously and up to 1800 F for short periods of time. For static stress measurement, a self-temperature — compensating, high — temperature strain gage has been developed for application on specific alloys up to 850 F. Developments to increase the temperature range of both of these gages are under way.
