Solders, Fluxes, Kits, and Soldering Units

The quality of the solder joints is a critical element in the performance of any strain gage installation. Because of special requirements associated with strain gage circuitry, many commercial solders and fluxes are not satisfactory for this purpose. Micro-Measurements stocks and distributes a selection of solders and fluxes that have been carefully tested and qualified for use with strain gages.
