Torsion Testing Apparatus

The torsion head is supported in ball bearings and torque is applied by a mass hanger and masses. Angular displacement is measured by a dial and pointer which can slide along the base to enable readings to be taken at any point. Torsion Apparatus is a most useful piece of bench mounted equipment and consists of a horizontal unit to take specimens up to 6 mm diameter by 450 mm long (0.25 inches x 18 inches). Supplied complete with a stainless steel specimen of 6 mm dia and one pointer.

Applications:
Determination of modulus of rigidity of different materials
Demonstration of torsion characteristics of small diameter rods of different materials.

Features:
Simple operation, with accurate repeatable results
Compact bench top unit.
