The Additional Load Cell (Product Code: SLE/EG/18) is an add-on for the Pin-Jointed Frameworks apparatus. An extra load cell allows more than one load to be applied and measured on the test framework at the same time, so students can study how a framework responds to combined loading rather than one load at a time. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for engineering laboratories that already run, or are setting up, a frameworks experiment.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type | Load cell, supplied as an additional unit |
| For use with | Pin-Jointed Frameworks apparatus |
| Purpose | Allows multiple loads to be applied and measured simultaneously on the test framework |
| Supplied as | Accessory, ordered in addition to the frameworks apparatus |
| Suitable for | Engineering colleges, polytechnics and technical institutes teaching framework analysis |
In a pin-jointed framework practical, students load the framework and compare what they measure with the results of hand analysis by the method of joints or the method of sections. An additional load cell means a second load can be applied and read at the same moment as the first, so the class can test superposition — whether the framework’s response to two loads equals the sum of their separate effects — and look at loading cases that resemble real roof and bridge trusses.
It also suits project work on combined or asymmetric loading, and lets a department extend an existing rig instead of buying a second one. For institutions building up lab equipment for technical institutes step by step, it is a low-disruption way to widen the range of experiments. Before ordering, check how many simultaneous load points your framework exercises need.
The load cell is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, whose trading name is ScienceLab, at Ambala in Haryana. Our company profile explains more about the company and its engineering range.

Which apparatus is this load cell for?
It is listed for the Pin-Jointed Frameworks apparatus. If you want to use it with any other module, contact us to confirm compatibility first.
Why would a laboratory need an additional load cell?
To apply and measure several loads on the test framework simultaneously, instead of testing one load case at a time.
Is the Pin-Jointed Frameworks apparatus included?
No. This listing covers the additional load cell only. Ask us about the frameworks apparatus itself if you are equipping a new laboratory.
What is the load cell’s capacity and connection type?
These details are not given in our current product listing; contact us for the datasheet before ordering.
Is a calibration certificate available?
Calibration certificate availability should be discussed with us at the time of enquiry.
How do we order it for an overseas institution?
Send the quantity and destination through our contact page; we supply customers in India and international markets.
To price one or more additional load cells, contact us or add the item to your enquiry cart.
