Color coding for test specimen
Most of TML strain gauges are self-temperature-compensated. Strain gauges in Series F, CF and WF are color coded in three types according to the material for compensation.| Test specimen | Coefficient of thermal expansion | Backing color | Gauge type exampled |
| Mild steel | 11×10-6/°C | Red | FLA-3-11 |
| Stainless steel Copper alloy | 17×10-6/°C | Brown | FLA-3-17 |
| Aluminum | 23×10-6/°C | Green | FLA-3-23 |
