Stiffness - Bending and Torsion

Compact, bench mounted apparatus enabling a variety of investigations into material stiffness including Young's modulus.

A compact, bench-mounting frame that holds different parts for investigations into stiffness of materials. The standard apparatus includes parts for tests in bending of beams of different materials and cross-section. Optional additional kits allow investigations into different beam fixings and torsional stiffness. Learn about Stiffness - Bending and Torsion manufacturers for optimal educational outcomes.. The main part is a rigid metal frame. Supplied as standard are two adjustable knife edges that work as simple supports for test beams. Learn about Stiffness - Bending and Torsion for educational labs for optimal educational outcomes.. A linear scale on the back panel of the frame allows accurate positioning of the knife edges. The kit also includes weights, a magnetic dial gauge and a set of different beams. Learn about Stiffness - Bending and Torsion specifications for optimal educational outcomes.. Also included in the standard kit is a vernier gauge for students to accurately measure dimensions of the specimens they test.
