PASCO
PASCO Comprehensive Materials Testing System ME-8244
The Comprehensive Materials Testing System is a complete laboratory setup for investigating the mechanical properties of materials under various loads. It enables tensile, compression, shear, and bending tests, along with column buckling and stress line visualization through photoelasticity. The system includes a Materials Testing Machine with a 7100 N load cell and an optical encoder for precise measurement of force and displacement. It connects to a computer via USB or Bluetooth using the AirLink interface and integrates with PASCO Capstone software for real-time data capture and analysis. The system comes with test samples and accessories to conduct a full range of materials experiments efficiently and safely.
