Abstract
This study aims to demonstrate a new design of low-cost and portable laboratory kit that is prospective for bending test. The kit is using hydraulic pressure tools with maximal capacity about 6 ton. Economic analysis and smaller dimension of this kit (700x100x750 mm) showed that this kit is a low-cost and adaptable to classroom. The test result obtained by calculating the maximum compressive force, moment of cross section inersia, fluxtural strength and elastic modulus of speciment. The result also compared with another test material from bending test machine with American standard testing and material and showed that there is not much different in the test result for both. Further development of this kit is potentially implemented as an experimental tool for student.
