1.Stiffness of helical spring apparatus:
Helical compression springs basically are mechanical devices which store
and release energy. They are used in a wide variety of applications where
predictable flexibility is desired. In suspension system when helical
compression spring is subjected to axially compressive load it absorbs the
energy as well as restoring the initial position of a part after removal of force.
2.Torsion Test:
A torsion testing machine is a device that uses a torsion beam to apply a

twist to a specimen and measure the torque necessary to induce failure.
Torsion testing machines are helpful in research, development, and
production engineering to determine the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) or
elastic modulus of materials.
3.Beam Bending Torsion:
The Torsion and Bending Apparatus is a bench-top experimental unit for

both torsion and bending in beams and rods. It can be used to observe the
theoretical study about torsion as well as bending. The test specimen
provided comprise of beams and rods made of different materials as well
as different cross-sections to do a comparative study of elasticity and
rigidity modulus for different specimen.
4.Deflection and Torsion:
Torsion and Deflection Testing Apparatus allows a variety of experiments

to be undertaken to investigate test specimens under torsional loading and
bending loading within their elastic limits.
5.Strain Gauge Apparatus:
A strain gauge is an electrical sensor, they are used to measure and monitor
strain. They are sometimes used as part of different sensors; load cells,
pressure transducers and others. The resistance of a strain gauge changes
when force is applied and this change will give a different electrical output.
6.Strain Gauge Calibration:
The stain gauge, the block of steel and the mounting will have
variations which will alter the raw output of the strain gauge, which
means you need to calibrate the measuring system using a know load
or comparison against a calibrated load cell.
7.Fixed beam bending and Torsion:
Bending moment induces bending stress to the material, which is aligned in normal axis of the relevant
cross section to the bending moment. The torsion stress is subjected to the material due to the torsional
moment. Both stresses are proportional with the extent of moment
8.Curved Bar:
Self-contained bench-top model investigates the load deflection characteristics of

curved bars. Frame with four test specimens alternatively interchanged. Bars are
a ring, a quadrant, a davit and a semi-circle. Loading by standard laboratory
weights. Four dial gauges to measure deflections. Includes hanger and weights
set.
9.Combined bending Torsion:
Bench-top model for the study of elastic failure under combined bending and
torsion stresses. Dial gauge 0.01mm with magnetic base, load plate with
counterbalance, load hanger, tools, ground steel mounting plate, test specimens.
Weight set is included.
10.Housefeild Tensometer:
A tensiometer is a device for measuring soil water tension. It
consists of a cylindrical pipe about one inch in diameter with a
porous ceramic cup attached to one end and a vacuum gauge
attached to the other.
11.Shearing Force and Bending:
For measurement of shear force at a section in a beam. The beam has two
parts with one part having ball bearings travel on the flat vertical surface
of the other part. An overhung adjustable spring balance measures the
shear force and an underhung adjustable spring balance is provided to
resist bending moment. The beam is supported on two end bearings, one
with an adjustable height. Movable load hangers that fit around the beam
and a set of weights are also supplied. Includes base frame for table top.
12.Shape factor Bending:
A shape factor is designed to prevent the creation of irregularly shaped lots by providing a measurement
to evaluate the compactness and degree of regularity of the shape of a lot.
13.Torsion Shaft:
Torsion of shafts is twisting of the shaft about its longitudinal axis.

Torsion of shafts is a type of deformation in shafts. The moment which
leads to a twisting moment is known as Torque.
15.Creep Test:
A creep-testing machine measures the alteration of a material after

it has undergone stresses. Engineers use Creep machines to
determine the stability and behaviour of a material when put
through ordinary stresses. They determine how much strain (load)
an object can handle under pressure, so engineers and researchers
are able to determine what materials to use.
17.Thin Cylinder and Thick Cylinder:
A thin cylinder is defined as a relatively lesser thickness to its diameter, and a thick cylinder is one with a
relatively larger thickness than its wall diameter. A thick cylinder has wider industrial usage than a thin
cylinder; thick cylinders can deal with high internal and external pressures.
19.Deflection of Plate:
Bending of plates, or plate bending, refers to the deflection of a plate perpendicular to the plane of the
plate under the action of external forces and moments. The amount of deflection can be determined by
solving the differential equations of an appropriate plate theory.
20.Propped Beam:
Bending of plates, or plate bending, refers to the deflection of a plate

perpendicular to the plane of the plate under the action of external forces
and moments. The amount of deflection can be determined by solving the
differential equations of an appropriate plate theory.
23.Continuous Beam:
A continuous beam, i.e. a beam that has more than two supports, is statically indeterminate. The reactions
in the supports of a continuous beam cannot be obtained with the equations of static equilibrium only. For
the calculation of the reactions in the supports each section is considered as an independent beam.
24.Simply supported beam apparatus:
A simply supported beam is one that rests on two supports and is free
to move horizontally. Typical practical applications of simply
supported beams with point loadings include bridges, beams in
buildings, and beds of machine tools.
25.Coil Spring:
The most common type of spring is the coil spring, which is made out
of a long piece of metal that is wound around itself. Coil springs were
in use in Roman times.
26.Compression and Extension Spring Apparatus:
An extension spring is a coil that contracts or extends when force is applied to it. A
compression spring, on the other hand, creates tension when force is applied to it in one
direction.
28.Modulus of ridigity of rubber Apparatus:

Rubber in shear force is often used on engines and in equipment mounting to isolate vibrations. They do
this by absorbing shock energy by deforming. This deformation leads to a decrease in cross-section as
the block rotates.
29.Young Modulus of Elasticity Apparatus:

Holmarc's Young's modulus apparatus is used to measure the Young's modulus of a bar. Young's modulus
is a measure of stiffness of an elastic material and is a quantity used to characterize materials. It can vary
considerably depending on the exact composition of the material.
30.Torsional Pendulum:
A torsional pendulum consists of a disk (or some other object) suspended from a wire, which is then
twisted and released, resulting in an oscillatory motion. The oscillatory motion is caused by a restoring
torque which is proportional to the angular displacement.
31.Brinell Hardness Test:
The Brinell hardness test method as used to determine Brinell hardness, is defined in ASTM E10. Most
commonly it is used to test materials that have a structure that is too coarse or that have a surface that is
too rough to be tested using another test method, e.g., castings and forgings. Brinell testing often use a
very high test load (3000 kgf) and a 10mm diameter indenter so that the resulting indentation averages out
most surface and sub-surface inconsistencies.
32.Charpy Impact:
In materials science, the Charpy impact test, also known as the
Charpy V-notch test, is a standardized high strain rate test which
determines the amount of energy absorbed by a material during
fracture. Absorbed energy is a measure of the material's notch
toughness.
33.Universal Testing Machine:
A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, materials testing machine or
materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength and compressive strength of materials. An earlier
name for a tensile testing machine is a tensometer. The "universal" part of the name reflects that it can
perform many standard tensile and compression tests on materials, components, and structures
