Torsion Apparatus
For studying static and dynamic torsion as well as the limit of elasticity of wires. Theapparatus consists of a fixed clamping device for test wires and a rotatable protractor
disc with a clamp. The horizontal assembly is used for static measurements and
for determining the limit of elasticity, the vertical assembly for dynamic torsion
measurements. A preset torsion is compensated for by a counter-torque during static
measurements. When the limit of elasticity has been exceeded, permanent deformation
of the wire is the outcome. The apparatus is used as a rotating pendulum during dynamic
torsion measurements (vertical assembly). In order to vary the moment of inertia, the
protractor disc can be loaded with additional weights. By determining the oscillation
period, the dynamic torsion properties of the tested material can be ascertained.
