The test force is displayed using a large dial gauge indicator. The elongation of the test specimen is recorded on a dial gauge. Students can develop skills in the carrying out of complex project work. The fully assembled system presents an actual fully functional materials tester which can be used for a wide range of materials testing. The test force is generated using a hand-operated hydraulic system. The skills acquired are the planning, execution and checking of assembly, commissioning, and maintenance operations. Is supplied in kit form. In the course of the project they independently develop an appreciation for the fundamentals and correlations involved, and then contribute to the overall outcome using team working skills. The kit contains all the mechanical components, measuring devices, hydraulic components complete with sealing elements, and piping material complete with all connecting elements.
