Product Code : ILS-AM-10907
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Torsion (Barton's) Apparatus Vertical Pattern (Product ID: 10907) as part of its applied mechanics range. A vertical-pattern apparatus for measuring the modulus of rigidity of a rod by static torsion.
Quick Answer
The test rod, 900 mm long and 5 mm in diameter, is clamped at the top by a 3-jaw chuck and at the bottom into the axis of a torsional drum. Strings from the drum pass over two low-friction pulleys to two scale pans, so loads in the pans apply a couple that twists the rod. Three pointers clamp to the rod and move over three circular scales graduated in single degrees, which slide and clamp at any height, so the twist can be compared along the rod. The steel frame stands on a heavy cast iron base with levelling screws. Three test rods, strings and two scale pans are included; weights are not.

Where This Is Used
Used in college elasticity labs. The horizontal equivalent is the Torsion Apparatus Searle's Type (Product ID: 10906); for a dynamical method see the Torsion Pendulum (Bridge Type) (Product ID: 10905). Browse the full Applied Mechanics range or related Elasticity and Surface Tension products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why two scale pans?
Equal loads over two pulleys twist the drum with a couple, without a sideways pull on the rod.
What size are the test rods?
900 mm long and 5 mm in diameter.
