Digital Strain Display
Product Code : LSK-MTE-10512
Digital Strain Display (SKU LSK-MTE-10512) is a programmable strain indicator that accepts up to 16 channels from metal-foil strain gauges wired in quarter, half or full bridge and shows strain directly. It suits strength of materials and stress analysis labs in B.Tech, B.E. and diploma engineering courses. Each display is manufactured by Science Lab Supplies in-house at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and quoted straight to engineering colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The table sets out each specification of the 16-channel Digital Strain Display. In short, it is a fully programmable unit that matches its gauges and bridge connections, with two individually adjusted dynamic outputs for transient strain and internal precision make-up resistors for half-bridge circuits; quarter-bridge work needs external make-up resistors or dummy gauges.

Applications and Experiments for the Digital Strain Display
The display can read strain from bonded gauges on beams, shafts, cylinders or test specimens. It suits strength of materials practicals in mechanical and civil engineering degrees and diplomas, experimental stress analysis electives, and final-year projects that measure strain on a student-built structure.
- B.Tech/B.E. strength of materials lab: beam bending strain compared with theory.
- Stress analysis: quarter-, half- and full-bridge connections compared on one member.
- Diploma practicals: several gauges read at once on one structure, a step on from the force and displacement readings of the Universal Testing Machine.
- Project work: gauge readings set beside the force and elongation graphs of the Materials Laboratory With Data Capture.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each display comes with a reel of cable, connectors that fit its input sockets and a tool that crimps the connectors onto the cable, so no soldering is needed. Quarter-bridge make-up resistors or dummy gauges and the oscilloscope or chart recorder are not supplied; strain gauges can be added to the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Colleges buying test and measurement instruments in India can request a quotation for one display or several; it sets out the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and other engineering lab equipment in India from the range can be priced alongside.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria and Kenya. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). For a price on your stress analysis bench, send the channel count you need from the contact page, place the display in the enquiry cart, or read the lab tender page before a formal bid.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many strain gauges can the Digital Strain Display read?
Up to 16 channels, each taking a gauge in quarter, half or full bridge. Because the unit is programmable to match its gauges and connections, a mixed set-up can be read from one display.
Do quarter-bridge gauges need extra parts?
Yes. Internal resistors complete half-bridge circuits, but a quarter-bridge connection needs suitable external make-up resistors or dummy gauges, which are not supplied. Plan these into the order if your experiments use single active gauges.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Every Digital Strain Display is assembled at the company's own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, so Science Lab Supplies is the maker and your quotation comes from the plant itself rather than from a trading house.
Can the display record fast-changing strain?
Yes, through its two individually adjusted dynamic outputs, which connect to a suitable instrument such as an oscilloscope or chart recorder for transient strain. That instrument is not supplied with the display.
