Digital Strain Display (Product Code: SLE/ETP/11) is a sixteen-channel strain indicator used to give direct readings of strain from metal-foil strain gauges in stress-analysis and materials testing laboratories. It accepts up to 16 channels wired in quarter, half or full bridge and is fully programmable to match each gauge and bridge connection. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among the test and measurement instruments in India that it provides for engineering colleges.

A bonded strain gauge changes resistance by a tiny amount as the surface beneath it stretches, and a Wheatstone bridge turns that change into a small voltage. The Digital Strain Display reads the bridge outputs and shows the result directly as strain, so students spend lab time on analysis rather than on conversions. With sixteen inputs it can log a whole set of gauges on a beam, cylinder or plate at once.
Typical uses include pressure-vessel and diaphragm experiments, beam bending tests and student projects on custom-gauged parts. The two channels with dynamic outputs can pass a changing strain signal on to another instrument. Enter the details of each gauge and its bridge type before testing, zero the readings with the structure unloaded, and label cables so each channel matches its gauge position.

How many strain gauges can the Digital Strain Display read?
The Digital Strain Display accepts up to 16 channels from strain gauges connected in quarter, half or full bridge, and gives a direct reading of strain for each, so a complete gauged structure can be read from one instrument.
Which strain gauges work with the Digital Strain Display?
The Digital Strain Display is for use with most types of metal-foil strain gauges and connects to most types of strain bridge connections. It is fully programmable to match the gauges and their bridge arrangement; share your gauge details with us to confirm.
Can half-bridge circuits be used without extra resistors?
Yes. The Digital Strain Display includes precision internal make-up resistors, so half-bridge connections can be completed inside the instrument when needed, without wiring separate resistors on the apparatus.
Do the connectors on the Digital Strain Display need soldering?
No. The Digital Strain Display uses self-locking, secure connectors that need no soldering, and a crimping tool for fitting the connectors to the cable is also supplied, which makes rewiring gauges between experiments quick.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Digital Strain Display?
Whether a calibration certificate can be provided with the Digital Strain Display should be discussed with us before you order. Mention it on the contact page so the answer is included with your quotation.
Who supplies the Digital Strain Display?
The Digital Strain Display is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to engineering institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Send your channel and bridge requirements with your enquiry.
