The use of foil gauges bonded with epoxy resin cements for the measurement of creep strains on aluminium alloy components at about 200C was investigated experimentally. Creep strains were measured on tubes in bending and sheet specimens in tension, both by strain gauges and also by proven extensometry and the results were compared. The response of the strain gauges was found to be satisfactory for continuous use at temperature to maximum times of about 500 hours.
