Though the piezo–resistive semi–conductor strain gauge has a very high gauge factor compared with wire or foil resistance strain gauges, some precautions ate necessary in its use if a reasonable degree of stability and accuracy are to be attained. The introduction of thermistors in the bridge circuit can compensate for errors caused by temperature changes.
