The influence of the transverse sensitivity factor n on errors in the measurement of strain are discussed and it is concluded that, providing the factor n is within £0015, its effect may be disregarded in all normal applications. The determination of n on a gauge factor calibration rig is considered and an analysis made of the degree of accuracy attainable.
