Thin Cylinder Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in Kenya
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10513
Lss Kenya is a leading Thin Cylinder Manufacturer,suppliers and Exporter in Kenya
The apparatus consists of a thin-walled aluminium cylinder, held in a robust frame. The frame holds the cylinder so that it is free to move along its axis.
The cylinder contains oil. To stress the cylinder, students use the hydraulic handpump to pressurise the oil. Strain gauges on the cylinder surface measure strain, while a gauge and electronic sensor measure hydraulic pressure.
Thin Cylinder apparatus allows students to perform experiments that examine stress and strain in a thin-walled cylinder. It clearly shows the principles, theories and analytical techniques, and provides effective, practical support to studies.
Open end: the cylinder has no axial load, so there is no direct axial stress.
Closed end: the cylinder has axial loads, so there is direct axial stress.
A sturdy base contains all parts of the Thin Cylinder apparatus. This forms a compact product, ideal for use on a workbench.
Students can measure strains with the cylinder in two ‘end conditions’:
Students use a hand-wheel on the frame to set these end conditions.
To perform experiments, students choose either closed or open-end conditions. They set the gauges to zero and use the pump to pressurise the cylinder. They take readings at several stages while they increase the pressure.
The results can be taken by hand using the in-built display and pressure gauge, and results plotted by hand. Alternatively, students can use optional Versatile Data Acquisition System to capture the data and plot the relevant graphs and export data. They then compare their results with calculations made using stress and strain theory.
