Young's Modulus Apparatus | FortiTestX-43
Product Overview
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.

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.
