Engineering Science Full Set


This kit includes different coiled springs for experiments in spring testing. These include extension springs, compression springs, parallel springs, and springs that can connect in series.
Students test the springs to prove Hooke’s Law and find their spring rate, comparing it with given manufacturer’s values. They also test springs in parallel and series to see how this affects the overall spring rate.
The kit helps students to understand the link between spring rate, spring extension, and the design and construction of springs. It introduces students to key engineering terms such as:
This versatile kit is part of a series that allows many experiments using different arrangements of their parts. Students, teachers or lecturers fit the parts of the kit to the Work Panel (ES1) (supplied separately) to study or show an engineering science topic.
TecQuipment supply a CD-ROM with the Work Panel (ES1). It includes all the worksheets, guidance notes, and lecturer notes (with answers) needed for typical experiments with each kit. The selection of parts in the kits and the choice of fixing points on the work panel means that teachers or lecturers may extend the experiments to an even greater range.
Multi-position Work Panel for use with TecQuipment’s Engineering Science kits.
TecQuipment's Tensile Tester Kit (ES6) demonstrates the principles of tensile tests on specimens of different materials, showing material behavior in the elastic and plastic region (Young's modulus).
TecQuipment's Torsion of Circular Sections Kit (ES5) Demonstrates the torsion in circular section specimens of different materials and lengths.
TecQuipment's Deflection of Beams and Cantilevers Kit (ES4) demonstrates the deflection of beams of different materials and dimensions, held on different supports both clamps and knife edges.
