Tensile Strength Tester (Electrically Operated) (Product Code: SLE/CE/47) is a double-lever testing machine used to measure the tensile strength of cement mortar briquettes in cement and building-materials laboratories. Engineering colleges and testing labs use it for its 900 kg capacity and a micro-switch that stops the machine the instant the briquette fails. It is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Loading system | Friction-free double lever system; load applied by a sliding weight on the top lever |
| Capacity | 900 kg |
| Load at failure | Tensile load read accurately to 0.5 kg |
| Zero setting | Marker on the sliding weight for returning it to the zero position |
| Operation | Briquette is fixed in the jaws and the machine is switched on; the sliding weight travels along the calibrated lever, applying tension to the specimen |
| Automatic stop | Micro-switch stops the machine instantly on failure of the briquette |
| Power supply | 230 V, 50 Hz (50 cycles), single phase, AC |
| Supplied with | One brass briquette mould and one base plate |
| Product code | SLE/CE/47 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
The tester measures direct tensile strength on mortar briquettes cast in the brass briquette mould. After the briquette is clamped in the jaws and the machine is switched on, the sliding weight moves steadily along the top lever, and the double lever multiplies its effect so that tension on the specimen rises smoothly until it breaks. The lever arrangement therefore lets a moving weight build up loads to the full 900 kg capacity.
In cement technology practicals, students cast briquettes, cure them for different periods and compare the failure loads to see how strength develops with age. As engineering lab equipment in India for diploma and degree courses, it is simple to operate: reset the sliding weight to zero with its marker before each test, keep the jaws free of mortar crumbs so the briquette sits centrally, and read the load as soon as the micro-switch stops the machine.
The Tensile Strength Tester is built by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is the original equipment manufacturer of this machine. It is manufactured and assembled at the company’s licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, and dispatched factory-direct to colleges, polytechnics, dealers and importers.
The company is incorporated under CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597, and its production premises at 449, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala hold Factory Licence AMB-ONLINE-CHD-J-414. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.

What is the capacity of the Tensile Strength Tester (Electrically Operated)?
The Tensile Strength Tester (Electrically Operated) has a capacity of 900 kg, applied through a friction-free double lever system by a sliding weight on the top lever. The tensile load at the moment of briquette failure is read accurately to 0.5 kg.
What comes with the Tensile Strength Tester?
The Tensile Strength Tester (SLE/CE/47) is supplied complete with one brass briquette mould and one base plate. Laboratories that cast several briquettes from each mix usually order additional moulds, so state the number you need when requesting a quotation.
How does the Tensile Strength Tester stop when the briquette breaks?
A micro-switch on the Tensile Strength Tester (Electrically Operated) stops the machine instantly when the briquette fails, so the operator can take the load reading before returning the sliding weight to its zero position using the marker provided.
What electrical supply does the Tensile Strength Tester require?
The Tensile Strength Tester (Electrically Operated) operates on 230 V, 50 Hz (50 cycles), single-phase AC. For sites with a different voltage or frequency, mention the local supply in your enquiry so it can be addressed in the quotation.
Who manufactures the Tensile Strength Tester (Electrically Operated)?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Tensile Strength Tester (Electrically Operated), producing it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, repeat orders and spare-part enquiries are handled directly by the manufacturer.
Can I get a calibration certificate with the Tensile Strength Tester?
