Thick Cylinder Apparatus

Biotek Engineers is manufacture, exporters & suppliers of: Thick Cylinder Apparatus

This unit demonstrates the normal distribution of stress in the radial, tangential and axial directions in the wall of a container under internal pressure, and allows theory to be checked experimentally. A thick-walled aluminium cylinder is placed under internal pressure using a hand pump; the pressure is displayed on a manometer. The hydraulic system is hermetically sealed and maintenance-free. Strain gauges are fitted at various radii in a joint in the cylinder. Using these gauges, it is possible to fully record the strain in the cylinder. For this purpose, the measuring amplifier is used as an accessory. The actual stresses are calculated from the strain measurements. All components are fitted to a portable base plate.
