Comprehensive STEM Science Kits for Materials Testing System

This system includes a materials testing machine and all the necessary accessories to investigate compression and tensile testing, column buckling, three- and four-point bending, shear testing, and stress patterns using photoelasticity.
It also includes a durable plastic base with storage space for all components and accessories.
The testing machine measures force using a load cell and displacement using an optical encoder. It can connect to a computer via USB or Bluetooth and includes sample sets for experiments in tension, compression, bending, and photoelasticity.
