Strain Gauge Trainer
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10514
Strain Gauge Trainer (SKU LSK-MTE-10514) is a compact bench unit that shows how resistance strain gauges work on three loaded structures: a bending beam, a torsion system and a tension system. Groups of two or more students use it in engineering degree, diploma and technical college labs, and lecturers use it for demonstrations. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory equipment manufacturer in India, builds the trainer at its factory on Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala and supplies it factory-direct to colleges, schools, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each structure carries protected gauges that students connect as quarter, half or full bridges through dummy gauge resistor plugs on the built-in strain display. The display reads correctly for every bridge type and for different gauge factors, and mimic diagrams on the back plate show each gauge and its wiring.

Applications and Experiments for the Strain Gauge Trainer
Students load each structure, calculate stress and strain from theory and known dimensions, and compare the answers with gauge readings. The trainer suits strain measurement and strength of materials practicals in B.Tech/B.E. mechanical and civil courses, polytechnic diplomas and instrumentation modules in technical training.
- Direct tensile and compressive strain in a bending beam.
- Shear strain in a shaft under torque.
- Poisson's ratio from the Tee rosette on the tension system.
- Sensitivity of quarter-, half- and full-bridge circuits on the same structure.
- Young's modulus of different metals using the optional tension specimens.
Standard Scope of Supply
The trainer comes complete with its three gauged structures, the strain display with dummy gauge resistor plugs and controls, and a small and a large set of masses for loading. Tension test specimens in different metals and the data acquisition system are optional and are quoted separately.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Ask for a price on one trainer or on enough for every student group when you source engineering lab equipment in India. Your quotation will state packing, delivery time and price for that number, and the optional metal specimens can be added to it.
Because it holds an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Ethiopia. Details can be sent through the contact page or the enquiry cart, and the lab tender page explains quoting for tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many students can use the Strain Gauge Trainer at once?
It is sized for a group of two or more students working together, and it is also clear enough for a lecturer to demonstrate to a class.
Can it find Poisson's ratio?
Yes. The tension system carries two gauges at right angles in a Tee rosette, and an extra setting on the strain display lets students prove Poisson's ratio for tensile and compressive strain.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Manufacturer. Science Lab Supplies builds the trainer at its own works in Saha, Ambala, India, and quotes for it without any middleman.
Are the gauges protected from damage?
Yes. A clear, hard-wearing coating covers each gauge, guarding it against accidental knocks and the environment while leaving it visible to students.
