MS-152 PVG TENSILE TEST ON WIRES APPARATUS

For measuring the tensile strength of different metals by wire
samples. Comprises a metal beam having a 5:1 ration and pivoted
to move in a horizontal plane mounted on a stout metal base plate
fitted with feet. A wire sample of 100 mm. length is held between
one clamp at one end of the beam, and another clamp fixed to a
tensioning screw. The other end of the beam is attached to a spring
balance having range 0 to 30 x 1 N connected to a second
tensioning screw, enabling the position of the beam to be
maintained opposite an index mark. Base plate printed with a scale
0-100 x 2 mm. for noting the extension of the wire sample. Overall
dimensions 330 x 290 x 40 mm., but without wire samples.
Wires used for the above areNichrome, Constantan and Copper in packing of 125 gm. or 250
gm. reel, supplied at extra cost
