Torsion Apparatus Searle's Type Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : ILS-AM-10906
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Torsion Apparatus Searle's Type (Product ID: 10906) as part of its applied mechanics range. A horizontal bench apparatus for measuring the modulus of rigidity of a rod by static torsion.
Quick Answer
One end of the test rod is held in a split collet chuck on the spindle of a 165 mm grooved wheel that turns on ball bearings on the front cast iron foot; the other end is clamped in a block through the rear foot. A cord round the wheel carries masses that apply a known torque. Two pointers clamped to the rod move over brass scales graduated 30–0–30°, on pillars that slide along the rod, so the angle of twist can be read between two points. Brass and steel test rods, cord and hook are included; weights are not. A version for a one metre rod is also available.

Where This Is Used
Used in college elasticity practicals for the static method. For the dynamic method see the Torsion Pendulum (Product ID: 10904); a vertical version is the Torsion (Barton's) Apparatus Vertical Pattern (Product ID: 10907).
