TORSION

n.[L. torsio, from torqueo, to twist. ] The act of turning or twisting. Torsion balance, an instrument for estimating very minute forces by the motion of an index attached to the ends of two fine wires, which twist around each other.

 

Webster's 1913 Dictionary

TORSION

Tor "sion, n. Etym: [F., fr. LL. torsio, fr. L. torquere, tortum, to twist. See Torture. ]

 

1. The act of turning or twisting, or the state of being twisted; the twisting or wrenching of a body by the exertion of a lateral force tending to turn one end or part of it about a longitudinal axis, while the other is held fast or turned in the opposite direction.

 

2. (Mech. )

 

Defn: That force with which a thread, wire, or rod of any material, returns, or tends to return, to a state of rest after it has been twisted; torsibility. Angle of torsion (of a curve ) (Geom.), the indefinitely small angle between two consecutive osculating planes of a curve of double curvature. -- Moment of torsion (Mech. ) the moment of a pair of equal and opposite couples which tend to twist a body. -- Torsion balance (Physics. ), an instrument for estimating very minute forces, as electric or magnetic attractions and repulsions, by the torsion of a very slender wire or fiber having at its lower extremity a horizontal bar or needle, upon which the forces act. -- Torsion scale, a scale for weighing in which the fulcra of the levers or beams are strained wires or strips acting by torsion.

 

TORSIONAL

TORSIONAL Tor "sion *al, a.

 

Defn: Of or pertaining to torsion; resulting from torsion, or the force with which a thread or wire returns to a state of rest after having been twisted round its axis; as, torsional force.

 

TORSION ELECTROMETER

TORSION ELECTROMETER Tor "sion e *lec *trom "e *ter. (Elec.)

 

Defn: A torsion balance used for measuring electric attraction or repulsion.

 

TORSION GALVANOMETER

Defn: An autographic torsion meter.

 

TORSION METER

TORSION METER Torsion meter. (Mech. )

 

Defn: An instrument for determining the torque on a shaft, and hence the horse power of an engine, esp. of a marine engine of high power, by measuring the amount of twist of a given length of the shaft. Called also torsimeter, torsiometer, torsometer.
