About Vertical Torsion Apparatus

Specially designed apparatus for study and investigation into the stress and strain accompanying the torsion i.e., torsion modulus of rigidity of the substance. The apparatus consists of a two long metal mounting rods located vertically on a T-shaped assembly and are jointed at the top through another square metal rod. Three adjustable angle measure attachments, graduated in degrees, are located vertically along the lengths of the rods for measuring degree of rotation of experimental rod under torsion at the desired positions. The bottom T-shaped assembly has a circular drum on to which is connected the weight pan on its either side through lightweight cord. The cord wound on the drum, which the weight pan suitably loaded, provides the necessary torque to the experimental rod. Chuck is provided at the top as well as bottom with tightening screws to firmly hold the experimental rod. Complete assembly mounted on a heavy cast metal tripod base with leveling screws. Includes the experimental rods-one each of brass and steel

FAQ's of Vertical Torsion Apparatus:

Q: How is the Vertical Torsion Apparatus used in a laboratory setting?

A: The apparatus is used to measure the torsional behavior of rod and wire specimens by clamping the sample into the adjustable holder. Torque is applied using the provided weights, and the resulting angular displacement is read on the fine graduated scale. This helps in studying material properties like shear modulus and torsional rigidity.

Q: What materials are compatible with this torsion testing equipment?

A: The apparatus is designed to test steel, brass, and copper rods or wires, offering flexibility for various experimental requirements in materials science and mechanical engineering studies.

Q: When should the sample rod or wire be replaced in the apparatus?

A: Replace the sample when you observe signs of significant deformation, wear, or after completing a trial to test a different material or diameter. The design allows for easy, tool-free specimen mounting and replacement.

Q: Where should the Vertical Torsion Apparatus be installed for best results?

A: For optimal performance, mount the apparatus on a stable laboratory table in an ambient environment free from excessive vibration. Its anti-skid, heavy base ensures vibration-free operation, essential for precision measurements.

Q: What is the process for calibrating or applying a known torque to the specimen?

A: Place the desired weights on the supplied weight holder, which hangs from the arm attached to the specimen. The applied torque is calculated based on weight and lever arm length. Ensure the weights are placed steadily for consistent torque application.

Q: What benefits does this device offer compared to other torsion testers?

A: The vertical torsion apparatus is highly accurate, offers fine angular measurement, supports a variety of rod diameters and materials, and requires no electrical power. Its rugged, corrosion-resistant construction ensures long-term laboratory use.
