Design and development of Manganin and other wire sensors together with a resistance strain gauge transducer for use at pressures up to 200000 lbf/in2(1.38 GN/m2)

The design and development of Manganin wire sensors for use at pressures up to 200 000 lbf/in2(1.38 GN/m2) is described and data presented for an alternative wire, Zeranin. A brief description of suitable bridge and digital read–out systems is given together with the design of a resistance strain gauge transducer suitable for control applications.
