2 Channel Digital Strain Meter Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : EL-MI-4919
Jlab Export is a leading 2 Channel Digital Strain Meter Manufacturer,and suppliers in India

2 Channel Digital Strain Meter (code EL-MI-4919) is a portable, direct-reading strain gauge meter that energises resistance strain gauges and shows strain up to 20,000 microstrain, or force from gauged transducers, on a 5-digit LCD. It serves strength-of-materials and structures labs in engineering colleges and polytechnics, and its rechargeable Ni-MH battery lets it go out for field work. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Digital Strain Meter Used For?

A foil strain gauge changes its electrical resistance very slightly when the surface it is bonded to stretches or compresses. The meter supplies the excitation voltage to the gauge bridge and converts the bridge output into a direct reading in microstrain — millionths of a unit change in length, so the 20,000 microstrain range corresponds to a 2 % strain. In strength of materials and structures practicals it is used to measure bending strain in beams, shear strain in shafts under torsion and hoop strain in thin cylinders, and, connected to a gauged force transducer, to read a load directly in newtons.

For static tests both channels run on DC excitation, so two gauges or a gauge and a load cell can be read side by side as the load is increased. For vibration work, one channel gives an analogue output for dynamic signals up to at least 10 Hz, which can be fed to an oscilloscope or data logger to study the frequency and amplitude of a vibrating beam. When a test needs more measuring points, the 16 Channel Expansion Unit switches up to sixteen further gauges to the meter, and each channel recalls its own calibration and tare when selected.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Mains supply — your voltage and frequency, so the 12 V supply for running and charging suits the site.
• Gauges and transducers — the type of gauges, bridge arrangement (half or full, 1, 2 or 4 active gauges) and any force transducers you will connect.
• Number of channels — add the 16-channel expansion unit if two channels are not enough.
• Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 2 Channel Digital Strain Meter measure?
Strain from electrical resistance strain gauges, up to 20,000 microstrain with a resolution of 1 digit, shown on a 5-digit LCD. With gauged force transducers it reads force directly in newtons.

Which strain gauges and bridge circuits can be used?
Any standard foil gauges, in half- or full-bridge circuits with 1, 2 or 4 active gauges, including the gauges on force transducers.

Can it measure dynamic strain?
Yes, on one channel. Both channels use DC excitation for static readings, and one channel can instead provide an analogue output for dynamic work up to at least 10 Hz, for measuring the frequency and amplitude of dynamic actions.

How is the meter powered, and how long does the battery last?
It runs on the mains through a 12 V supply (single-phase 100 / 240 V AC, 50 / 60 Hz), which also charges its rechargeable Ni-MH battery. Low power consumption gives at least 8 hours of battery use, so it can be taken for field work.

Can more channels be added?
Yes. Adding the 16 Channel Expansion Unit makes it an 18-channel system, and each channel keeps its own calibration and tare, called up automatically when that channel is selected.

Are strain gauges or transducers included?
The listing describes the meter and does not state that gauges or transducers are included. List the gauges, transducers or expansion unit you need in the enquiry and JLab will confirm them in the quotation.

Who manufactures this strain meter?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for it directly.

OEM Manufacturer

JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an engineering and scientific instrument manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The strain meter is built at JLab’s own works rather than bought in from a trader, so engineering colleges, polytechnics, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct, each meter is visually inspected before it ships, and accessories and repeat orders come back to the maker. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Bhutan in South Asia, the Netherlands in Western Europe, New Zealand in Oceania, the USA in North America and Ecuador in South America. Tender information is on the JLab lab tenders page.

Strain Gauge Accessories and Kits

• 16-Channel Strain Meter Expansion Unit — switches sixteen more gauge inputs to this meter and is powered from it.
• Strain Gauge Transducers — strain gauges on a cantilever in half and full Wheatstone bridge with an instrumentation amplifier.
• Load Measurement Using Strain Gauge Kit — a cantilever-type load cell kit with an on-board digital panel meter.
• Portable Wheatstone Bridge — a self-contained resistance bridge for teaching the bridge principle used in strain measurement.
