The effect of a temperature change on a strain gauge installation may be to produce strain readings of a magnitude greater than the mechanical strain being recorded. This paper discusses some of the difficulties encountered in the measurement of strain. In particular, the selection of the most suitable type of self–temperature compensated strain gauge for a particular specimen and its associated wiring technique are considered.
