SPECIFICATION

Tesca Portal Frame Unit has been designed to determine the deflection at the load point for a rectangular portal frame subjected to horizontal and vertical loads. The system is formed by a frame attached to a rigid base and loads can be applied by mass hangers and a range of masses or weights. The horizontal and vertical deflections of the frame can be measured by means of dial gauges.

Specifications
Anodized aluminium and steel structure.
Steel portal frame.
Dial gauge:
- Range: 0-10 mm. (0 - 0.4 inches).
- Accuracy: 0.01 mm. (0.0004 inches)
Cord with a hook.
Hanger.
In order to carry out some of the practices with Tesca Portal Frame Unit, 1 set of weights “B type ” are required. (See section “required accessories”).
Manuals: This unit is supplied with the following manuals: Required services, Assembly and Installation, Starting-up, Security, Maintenance and Practices Manual.

Experiment Possibilities
To determine the experimental value of the deflection at the load point for a rectangular portal frame subjected to a vertical load.
To determine the experimental value of the deflection at the load point for a rectangular portal frame subjected to a horizontal load.
To compare the theoretical and experimental results.

Required Accessories
Set of weights:
6 weights of 200 gr.
6 weights of 100 gr. Ÿ 2 weights of 50 gr. . Ÿ 2 weights of 20 gr. . Ÿ 2 weights of 10 gr. .
