- Answer must be coorect -- when using three-wire connections to a strain gage to reduce the effects of leadwire resistance changes with temperature, a phenomenon called leadwire desensitization can occur. If the magnitude of the leadwire resistance exceeds 0.1% of the nominal gage resistance, significant error can result. Assuming a 18-gauge (AWG) platinum leadwire (resistivity 10.6×10-8 S2m) and a standard 120 22 gage, how long can the (individual) leads (in inches) be before there is leadwire desensitization?arrow_forwardThe length of a iron bar is measured by a number of different observers and the following set of 12measurements are recorded (units mm)302,304,303,305,307,309,310,311,312,301,303,302.
