Torsion of Rods Apparatus

Category:

A torsion test is quite instrumental in determining the value of modulus of rigidity of a metallic specimen. The value of modulus of rigidity can be found out thought observations made during the experiment by using the torsion equation.

Apparatus:

  1. A torsion testing machine.
  2. Twist meter for measuring angles of twist
  3. A steel rule and Vernier Caliper or micrometer
Orientation Horizontal
Usage/Application Laboratory
Material Iron
Electrode Material Brass
Length 1 m
