Youngs Modulus Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/MCE/31) is a wire-extension apparatus used to find the relationship between the load on a wire and its resulting extension, and from it Young's modulus, in physics and engineering laboratories. Students read the extension on an engraved brass 0 to 30 mm scale with a movable vernier readable to 0.1 mm, while a ceiling clamp holds the wires from an overhead beam. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Two wires hang side by side from the ceiling clamp, one carrying the scale plate and the other the vernier. The tension weight keeps the wires taut, and as loading masses are added to the test wire its end moves down against the scale, so the vernier gives the extension directly to 0.1 mm. Because both wires share the same support and surroundings, sagging of the support or temperature drift affects both equally and largely cancels out.
Add masses in equal steps, wait a moment for each reading to settle, and take readings again while unloading to check the wire stayed elastic. Measure the wire diameter at several points and its length from the clamp, then plot load against extension; the slope gives Young's modulus. It is a staple of physics lab equipment in India for both school and first-year engineering practicals.
This Youngs Modulus Apparatus is an OEM product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, better known by its trading name ScienceLab. The scale plate, vernier carrier and clamp are made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy from the manufacturer rather than through a trader.

What does the Youngs Modulus Apparatus measure?
The Youngs Modulus Apparatus measures the extension of a wire as load is applied, giving the load–extension relationship. With the wire's length and diameter, students use these readings to calculate the Young's modulus of the wire material.
How precise is the scale on the Youngs Modulus Apparatus?
The Youngs Modulus Apparatus has an engraved brass scale plate reading 0 to 30 mm and a movable vernier readable to 0.1 mm. That resolution suits the small extensions produced by thin wires under laboratory loads.
What comes with the Youngs Modulus Apparatus?
The Youngs Modulus Apparatus comes with the scale plate and vernier, each with wire-clamping bars and hooks, a ceiling clamp with a pair of large wood screws, and a tension weight of about 1.3 kg. Wires and loading masses are not listed.
How is the Youngs Modulus Apparatus mounted?
The Youngs Modulus Apparatus hangs from a ceiling clamp that holds the upper ends of the wires. The clamp is fixed with two large wood screws to a convenient overhead beam, door frame or similar rigid support.
Who manufactures the Youngs Modulus Apparatus?
The Youngs Modulus Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools and colleges receive quotations directly from the manufacturer.
What should a quotation request for the Youngs Modulus Apparatus include?
A quotation request for the Youngs Modulus Apparatus should give the number of sets, any test wires and loading masses you want added, and the delivery location. Send it through the contact page for a prompt reply.
