Roof Truss Apparatus Model MT 091
Sci-tech Roof Truss Apparatus Model MT 091 is used to measure the deformation in elements of roof truss. Whenever a load is applied to a roof truss, its members undergo a strain. This unit consists of a base structure which provides the support locations for the roof truss. Three metallic elements form a roof truss in a triangular shape. Load is applied from the top of the roof truss structure via a hanger. Each member has a dial gauge connected to it which shows the deformation produced due to applied load in each member. This apparatus is used to measure the deformation in elements of roof truss. Whenever a load is applied to a roof truss, its members undergo a strain.
