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.
Four-Point Load Anvil
Combine the anvil with the Bending Accessory and perform both three-point and four-point bending on the Materials Testing System.
Comprehensive Materials Testing System
Includes everything needed to do tensile, compression, shear, and bending testing as well as column buckling and photoelasticity.
Bending Accessory
Perform three-point bending tests of various metals.
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.
Flat Structures Members
Flat members provide lateral support in bridges and can be used to build flexible buildings.
Support
Many lab activities can be conducted with our Wireless, PASPORT, or even ScienceWorkshop sensors and equipment. For assistance with substituting compatible instruments, contact PASCO Technical Support. We're here to help.
