Transverse Deformation Jig Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : TVT-CMTE-10408
The Transverse Deformation Jig from Tvet Equipments measures the transverse (mid-span) deflection of beam and prism specimens under flexural load, giving laboratories the deflection data needed alongside peak load results for a complete flexural strength assessment.
How It Works
The jig is mounted on the flexural test specimen (typically a concrete or mortar beam or prism) within a compression/flexural testing machine, with a dial gauge or displacement transducer positioned to track the specimen's mid-span deflection as load is applied. Recording deflection alongside applied load allows laboratories to assess flexural behaviour beyond peak strength alone, including stiffness and post-crack deformation characteristics where required by the test specification.
Technical Specifications
Tvet Equipments' own product records for this item did not carry specifications distinct from an unrelated vibrating-table product, and appear to have been affected by a content/data-entry mix-up on the source system. Buyers should confirm current dimensions, weight and gauge type directly with Tvet Equipments before specifying.
Applications
The Transverse Deformation Jig is used in flexural testing of concrete and mortar beams to measure mid-span deflection, complementing the peak-load flexural strength results obtained under standards such as ASTM C78 / ASTM C293 and IS 516, where deflection behaviour is required in addition to flexural strength.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Transverse Deformation Jig measure?
It measures the transverse (mid-span) deflection of a beam or prism specimen as it is loaded during a flexural strength test.
Q2. Why measure deflection alongside flexural strength?
Deflection data reveals a specimen's stiffness and post-crack deformation behaviour, giving a fuller picture of flexural performance than peak load alone.
Q3. What standards reference deflection measurement in flexural testing?
ASTM C78, ASTM C293 and IS 516 all cover flexural strength testing of concrete beams, with deflection measurement specified as an additional parameter in some test procedures.
