About This Product
A proving ring is a metal ring that deflects slightly under load, and the deflection is used to measure the force applied. In engineering and mechanics teaching, a screw jack and proving ring can apply a known load to a structure, beam or test piece, so students do not need stacks of cast iron masses. Loading can be compressive or tensile, and the zero switch is set before loading so that self weight is ignored. Apply load slowly with the screw jack and read the gauge once the reading settles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How much travel does the loading device have?
The screw jack has a fine thread and provides 75 mm of travel.
Q2. Can it apply tension as well as compression?
Yes. The ring is designed for compression, and a loading yoke is provided so that tension loads can be applied.
Q3. How is the load read?
A digital dial gauge shows the load directly in deca Newtons, and a zero setting switch removes the effect of self weight and initial set-up.
