I.Overview
This equipment is for mechanical engineering department or mechanics engineering department in university, it’s for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Engineering Mechanics, Solid Mechanics major and other mechanics related department.
The equipment is used for the investigation of torsion and torsional rigidity in rods, and tubes. It is to be used with ST305 Universal Base Frame or Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).
The apparatus has two columns attached to the base frame. One end of the specimen is clamped to one of the column. A lever can be clamped to the specimen at the test length from the first column for measurement of the angle of twist. A pulley for load hanging can be freely rotated in the second column. The other end of the specimen is clamped to the pulley.Measurement of angle of twist is by a dial indicator on the arm, and of torque is by the load and pulley diameter. Instruction manual is also included.
