torsjonsbalansetester
A torsionsbalansetester, often referred to as a torsion balance, is a scientific instrument designed to measure very small forces or torques. It typically consists of a suspended beam or rod that is free to rotate around a central axis. This axis is supported by a thin fiber, such as a wire or quartz thread, which is extremely sensitive to twisting forces. When a force is applied to the beam, it causes a slight rotation. The amount of rotation is directly proportional to the magnitude of the applied force or torque. By measuring the angle of twist of the fiber, one can accurately determine the applied force.
The sensitivity of a torsionsbalansetester depends on factors such as the length and stiffness of the suspension
Torsionsbalansetesters are also employed in other fields. For instance, they can be used in material science
