About This Product
A torsion test twists a rod and records how far it turns for a given torque. In this vertical apparatus the rod is held at the top in a chuck, and its lower end is clamped to a drum that turns when weights are placed in the scale pan. The three sliding scales and pointers show the angle of twist at different positions along the rod. The readings are used in engineering lessons to study torque, twist and the rigidity of the rod material.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is the load applied in the Torsion Apparatus Vertical Type?
The torsion drum is rotated by putting load in the scale pan, which passes over two frictionless pulleys.
Q2. What is supplied with it?
It comes with three test rods, strings and two scale pans, but without weights.
Q3. How are angles read?
Three freely sliding circular scales graduated in single degrees can be clamped at any position, with three pointers clamped to the test rod.
