Thick Cylinder Apparatus- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
This benchtop unit
demonstrates the normal distribution of stress in the radial, tangential
and axial directions in the wall of a container under internal
pressure, and allows theory to be checked experimentally. A thick-walled
aluminium cylinder is placed under internal pressure using a hand pump;
the pressure is displayed on a manometer. The hydraulic system is
hermetically sealed and maintenance-free. Strain gauges are fitted at
various radii in a joint in the cylinder. Using these gauges, it is
possible to fully record the strain in the cylinder. For this purpose,
the measuring amplifier is used as an accessory. The actual stresses are
calculated from the strain measurements. All components are fitted to a
portable base plate.
