Gauge Factor Calculator

The Gauge Factor (GF) is a crucial parameter in measuring strain using strain gauges. It quantifies the sensitivity of the gauge by comparing the relative change in electrical resistance to the mechanical strain. The formula used is:

\[ \text{Gauge Factor} = \frac{\frac{\Delta R}{R}}{\epsilon} \]

where:

• \(\Delta R\) is the change in resistance,
• \(R\) is the initial resistance,
• \(\epsilon\) is the strain.

This tool helps users calculate the gauge factor easily, supporting applications in material science, structural engineering, and sensor technology.
