Torsion In Circular Sections Apparatus Model MT 135

Sci-tech Torsion Of Circular Sections Apparatus Model MT 135 examines the behavior in the elastic region of solid and tubular-section specimens. Two chucks on a backboard hold a test specimen. A mechanism on one chuck applies torque manually to the specimen. A protractor scale on this chuck measures angular movement. A load cell on the other chuck measures torque. The equipment includes a lead to connect the load cell to a Digital Force Display

To vary the test length of a specimen, one chuck can traverse the backboard. Included is an electronic angular transducer for use with the optional ‘Sci-Cal’ DAQ software. The lecturer guide provides details of the equipment including sample experiment results. The student guide describes how to use the equipment and gives experiment procedures.

Choice of tests beyond that available using only the hardware, for example: higher loads, uniform loads or different test specimens. This extends the student’s learning experience.

For automatic data acquisition of your experiment results, ‘Sci-Cal’ Software displays and logs your experiment results and gives the extra virtual experiments.

Size: 120cm x 65cm x 60cm (LxWxH)
Weight: 35 kg
