EF-5.1 Tensile Tester
The unit is designed to demonstrate the tensile strength of test pieces of different materials.
- An Innovative hands on modular system designed to enable investigation and the understanding of engineering principles
- Datalogging capability
Description
The Engineering Fundamentals range enables students to gain an understanding of the principles of engineering by the process of learning via experimentation.
The modular tray-based system is supplied in conjunction with a multifunctional work panel enabling the student to conduct their own experiments in subjects such as Statics, Dynamics, Mechanisms, Kinematics and Strength of Materials.
Each kit is supplied with a highly visual user-friendly operational guide, allowing the student to understand the theory of the subject by the application of practical experimentation.
