Strain Gauge Trainer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in Africa
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10514
Issafrica is a leading Strain Gauge Trainer Manufacturer,and suppliers in Africa
The compact Strain Gauge Trainer fits on a bench or desktop. It contains everything needed to show students how resistance strain gauges work on three different structures.
It is ideal for groups of two or more students to do experiments and for classroom demonstrations.
Students can also connect and compare the performance of quarter, half and full-bridge strain gauge connections for each structure.
Students use the small set of masses to load the bending and torsion systems, and the large set of masses to load the tension system. They use theory and known dimensions to calculate the stresses and strains and compare them with the strains measured by the strain gauges.
The bending system uses gauges to measure direct tensile and compression strain. The torsion system shows the use of shear/torque strain gauges.
The tension system shows the use of two gauges at right angles in a Tee rosette. For more tests with the tension system, Lss Africa can supply optional tension test specimens made of different metals.
Students then use their experience from other experiments to calculate and test strains in the different metals and find their values of Young’s modulus.
The tension system also finds and proves Poisson’s ratio for tensile and compressive strains in metals.
The strain display includes a set of high-accuracy dummy strain gauge resistors (plugs) and controls. These allow the student to connect the strain gauges on the structures as quarter, half or full-bridge networks.
The strain display works with and gives correct readings for all bridge connections and different gauge factors. An extra setting on the strain display works with the tension system to prove Poisson’s ratio. The strain display has a socket for connection to Lss Africa optional Versatile Data Acquisition System.
The trainer shows students different types of strain gauges. A clear, hard-wearing coating protects each gauge from accidental damage and the environment.
Enlarged mimic diagrams on the back plate of the trainer show students what each gauge looks like, how it connects and how it fits on each structure. This helps to show students how it works.
