Earthquake StructureTester
Kelvin Have students design and build a tower,
bridge or house from balsa wood. Then attach it to
the Earthquake Machine and turn the earthquake
on. Vary the speed using the variable speed power
supply (sold separately) and see how long it takes
before the structure begins to fall apart. Includes
1,000g weight which can be attached to the struc-
ture to give it more destruction mass.

Structural Stress Analyzer
AMT Authentic testing platform designed
to be both dependable and durable, the SSA
enables students to perform materials testing in
the same manner found at the college level - a
perfect experience for inclusion in the student
portfolio. With forces up to 1,000 lbs. the SSA
displays real time data measuring force and deflection of classroom-con-
structed towers, bridges and tensile samples. This stress-strain relationship
curve allows students to analyze and describe the performance of samples
using college level concepts and vocabulary – an essential experience for
college and career readiness.

TensileTester
Fischer For testing of specimens that will require from
300 - 5,000 lbs. (+/- 1% Accuracy ) of tensile load to cause
fracture. Consisting of a load frame and a pumping system,
the operator has precise control over the entire opera-
tion. Self-tightening grips accept up to 0.125" x 1.13" cross
section, but the 5,000 lb. maximum load limits the largest
specimen that can be tested (varies according to material strength). Provides
digital readout of live & peak loads. Meets ASME, AWS Codes & MIL Stan-
dards. Calibration (ASTM E4) traceable to NIST Standards.
Tester 31"H x 7"W x 4"D. Pump 6"H x 4"W x 14"D. Weight 34 lbs.
Includes hand-operated pump.
