You mean pressure gauges right? Strain gauges measure physical deformation. I want to do a similar test using digital pressure sensors on my hood to find high and low pressure zones for ventilation louvers.
Yea it could be done either way. Deformation of the strain gauge can be correlated to a pressure. I've used strain gauges in wind tunnels to find the pressue at different locations on an airfoil/cylinder/etc.
