STRAIN GAGE INSTALLATION ON A SHAFT FOR TORQUE MEASUREMENT

What is the right procedure for installation of a foil strain gage sensor on a shaft for the purpose of torque measurement. How and why to measure torque using metal strain gage sensors?
Strain gage sensors have been used for many years for determining the torsion applied to cylindrical shafts.
When the shaft is loaded in torsion, it creates a state of pure shear and the applied torque can be found by orienting rosettes where the gridlines are positioned at 45 degrees to the axis of the shaft. Some common applications can be found in pulp and paper mills for measuring efficiency, output shafts for large ships for optimum engine setup, and even power monitoring for cyclists so they can determine how much energy was expended during training, and, of course, there are many others. For most of the these applications, the strain gages are used to construct a full Wheatstone bridge circuit to double the sensitivity to torque and cancel unwanted effects due to axial or bending load components.
Following are two of our most popular strain gages for torque measurements:
187UV- Common Tab Shear pattern: www.vishaypg.com/docs/11244/18...
250US “Windmill pattern”: www.vishaypg.com/docs/11334/25...
Last but not least strain gages remain the most accurate and direct way to measure strain in a shaft.

I want to measure the bending moment on a vertical pipe fixed from its base and subjected to a horizontal force on the top, what type of strain gauge and what is the best bridge configuration do I need?
