Young’s Modulus Apparatus | FortiTestX-43
The Young’s Modulus Apparatus FortiTestX-43 is a wall-mounted laboratory unit for investigating elastic elongation of metal wire specimens under direct tensile loading. This Young’s modulus apparatus supports experiments with steel, aluminium, brass, and copper wires (1000 mm length, 1 to 2 mm diameter), measuring elongation via a vernier gauge with a 100 mm range and 0.02 mm graduation. A traverse distributes load evenly from the weight set to the wire bottom ends, enabling systematic study of elongation as a function of load, diameter, and material. The unit supports direct determination and verification of the modulus of elasticity for all four wire materials.
The Young’s Modulus Apparatus FortiTestX-43 is a wall-mounted experimental unit for investigating the elastic elongation of metal wires under tensile loading. This Young’s modulus apparatus enables determination and verification of the modulus of elasticity for steel, aluminium, brass, and copper wire specimens, with elongation measured by a vernier gauge at 0.02 mm graduation. It covers the relationship between wire elongation, applied load, wire diameter, and material properties within a single compact wall-mounted setup.
Product Overview
The Young’s Modulus Apparatus FortiTestX-43 is fixed to a wall-mounted carrier from which wire specimens are suspended. The bottom ends of the wires are secured using two sliders. A traverse connects the wires at their lower ends and distributes applied load evenly across the specimens. Weights are placed on the traverse to load the wires in direct tension. Wire elongation resulting from the applied tensile force is measured using a moment lever fitted with a vernier gauge, providing a displacement range of 100 mm at 0.02 mm graduation. Wire specimens are available in four materials: steel, aluminium, brass, and copper. Each wire is 1000 mm in length with a diameter ranging from 1 to 2 mm. Experiments investigate elastic elongation as a function of applied load, wire diameter, and material, and enable direct determination and verification of the modulus of elasticity for each material. This Young’s modulus apparatus is suited to undergraduate engineering and materials science laboratory programmes requiring hands-on measurement of fundamental elastic material properties.

Construction and Design
The Young’s Modulus Apparatus FortiTestX-43 is mounted on a wall-fixed carrier from which wire specimens in steel, aluminium, brass, and copper are suspended vertically. Each wire is 1000 mm long with a diameter between 1 and 2 mm. The bottom ends of the wires are attached using two sliders that connect to a traverse. The traverse distributes the applied load evenly across the wire specimens and supports the weight set for direct tensile loading. A moment lever fitted with a vernier gauge measures elongation of the wires under load, with a displacement range of 100 mm and graduation of 0.02 mm. This Young’s modulus apparatus allows the effect of load magnitude, wire diameter, and material on elastic elongation to be systematically investigated, and enables direct calculation and verification of the modulus of elasticity from the measured data.
