Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

According to the present disclosure, a strain gauge includes: a flexible substrate; a resistor made from a film containing Cr, CrN, and Cr 2 N, on one surface of the substrate; and a resin barrier layer covering the resistor, and, in this strain gauge, in the barrier layer, a ratio of a moisture permeability (g/m 2 /24 h) to a thickness (mm) is 5:1 or greater, and the thickness of the barrier layer is 100 μm or more and 3 mm or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A strain gauge comprising: a flexible substrate; a resistor made from a film containing Cr, CrN, and Cr 2 N, on one surface of the substrate; and a resin barrier layer covering the resistor, wherein, in the barrier layer, a ratio of moisture permeability (g/m 2 /24 h) to thickness (mm) is 5:1 or greater, and the thickness of the barrier layer is 100 μm or more and 3 mm or less. 2 . The strain gauge according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier layer is made from a fluoropolymer, an epoxy resin, or an acrylic resin. 3 . The strain gauge according to claim 1 , wherein the barrier layer covers an upper surface and side surfaces of the resistor in a continuous manner. 4 . The strain gauge according to claim 1 , wherein an insulating stress relaxing layer is placed between the resistor and the barrier layer. 5 . The strain gauge according to claim 4 , wherein the stress relaxing layer is an organic film having a lower Young's modulus than the barrier layer. 6 . The strain gauge according to claim 1 , wherein a gauge factor is 10 or more. 7 . The strain gauge according to claim 1 , wherein the CrN and the Cr 2 N contained in the resistor are 20% by weight or less. 8 . The strain gauge according to claim 7 , wherein a proportion of the Cr 2 N in the CrN and the Cr 2 N is 80% or more by weight and less than 90% by weight.
