Metal Wire Reverse Torsion Tester

Model: NJS-10X, ISO 9649, ISO 7800

NJS-10X series Metal Wire Reverse Torsion Tester is used to execute metal wire torsion test, measure the metal wire endure of plastic distortion ability in single or double direction torsion condition; check the surface or internal defect. This test determining the ability of metallic wire of diameter dimension from 0,3 mm to 10,0 mm inclusive to undergo plastic deformation during reverse torsion. This test is used to detect surface defects, as well as to assess ductility.

General Introduction

NJS-10X series Metal Wire Reverse Torsion Tester is used to execute metal wire torsion test, measure the metal wire endure of plastic distortion ability in single or double direction torsion condition; check the surface or internal defect. This test determining the ability of metallic wire of diameter dimension from 0,3 mm to 10,0 mm inclusive to undergo plastic deformation during reverse torsion. This test is used to detect surface defects, as well as to assess ductility.

Key Features

  • Principle
  • Standard
  • Application

A test piece of wire is twisted a specified number of turns through 360° around its own axis in one direction, and then a specified number of turns through 360° in the opposite direction.
