The Micro-Measurements® brand of Vishay Precision Group, Inc. introduced the W2A Series IPX8S rated, waterproof strain gages that provide protection in applications where there is exposure to water. As moisture is the most common cause of field installation failures, the W2A provides long-term defense from water-exposure, resists harmful chemicals, and allows for immediate and thorough protection in field environments. Reducing the complexity involved in strain gage installation, the W2A series comes with built-in pre-attached leadwires that require no additional sealing protection and significantly shorten strain gage installation process and time.
