ABSTRACT:
A strain gage element system includes a spring flexure member on which strain gages of convention design are mounted, and a heat shrinkable waterproof tube that is placed over the gage and the support and shrunk into place. The spring flexure member is formed so that it has a substantially constant peripheral length about the perimeter of any cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spring flexure member. The heat shrinkable tube must be selected in size and shrinkage characteristics to tightly envelope and shrink against the gage and spring flexure member and seal the gage completely to prevent moisture of any kind from getting into contact with the gage.
