Young's Modulus Apparatus (Vernier Type)
Product Code : LSK-EAST-11170
Young's Modulus Apparatus (Vernier Type) (SKU LSK-EAST-11170) finds the Young's modulus of a wire by measuring its extension on a 10 cm brass scale with a sliding vernier that reads to 0.1 mm. It is a straightforward set for Class 11 elasticity practicals, B.Sc. labs and polytechnic physics. Science Lab Supplies is the maker: the apparatus is manufactured at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and reaches schools, colleges, contractors and distributors straight from there.
Specifications
What the vernier-type set contains and how it reads are shown in the rows below. In short, a 10 cm brass scale and a vernier on a slide measure the extension to 0.1 mm, and the apparatus comes complete in a case with wire, a ceiling attachment and a constant cast iron weight.

Applications and Experiments for the Vernier Type Apparatus
The wire hangs from the ceiling attachment and is kept taut by the constant cast iron weight while further loads are added. The vernier slide is read against the brass scale after each load, giving the extension to 0.1 mm, and a graph of extension against load leads to Young's modulus.
- Class 11 physics practical: determining Young's modulus of the material of a wire, loading it in equal steps with carbon steel Laboratory Slotted Masses, 2.5 kg.
- Finding the wire's cross-section from diameter readings on a Digital Micrometer with 0.01 mm resolution.
- B.Sc. and polytechnic labs: repeating the experiment with a different material such as Brass Wire (100gm) Physics Lab.
Anchor the ceiling attachment securely, add loads slowly, and do not stand directly beneath the hanging weights.
Standard Scope of Supply
The apparatus comes complete in a case with the 10 cm brass scale and vernier slide, a length of wire, the ceiling attachment and the constant cast iron weight. Slotted masses for loading the wire and a micrometer for measuring its diameter can be quoted separately to complete the practical.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quote can be made out for a single apparatus or for one per student group, covering packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Slotted masses, test wire and measuring instruments can be grouped on the same quotation for an elasticity bench.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. Write to us from the contact page, place the item in the enquiry cart, or see how tenders are handled on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How precise is the vernier reading?
The vernier reads to 0.1 mm against a 10 cm brass scale. For finer work, the Searle's pattern apparatus in the same range uses a micrometer head reading to 0.01 mm with a spirit level.
What is included in the case?
The apparatus is complete in a case with the brass scale and vernier slide, wire, a ceiling attachment and a constant cast iron weight. Loading masses are quoted separately if your laboratory does not already have them.
What is the constant cast iron weight for?
It keeps the wire straight and taut before the measured loads are added, so that the first vernier reading is taken from a stretched, kink-free wire and later readings show only the extension caused by the loads.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The vernier-type apparatus is a Science Lab Supplies product made in its Saha, Ambala facility. Ordering directly from the maker keeps the quotation, any spare wire and later questions under one roof.
