Featured Equipment
Digital Calipers
This metric/Imperial digital caliper (15 cm or 6 inch) measures to the nearest 0.01 mm (0.0005 inch). It features automatic power down and it includes a sturdy, protective plastic case.
Structures Beam Fixture
Structures beam fixture uses structures system I-beams for investigations in tension, compression and bending.
Materials Testing Machine
This is the assembly-only version; measures force and displacement for various materials as the materials are stretched, compressed, sheared, or bent.
Cast Beam Spares Set
Use plaster to mold beams from this rebar and cast set and allow students to build and test real pre-stressed beams.
