Test On Close - Coiled Helical Spring

The document describes a procedure to test the stiffness and rigidity modulus of a close-coiled helical spring. Key steps include: measuring the spring's diameter, coil count, and wire thickness; loading the spring in a testing machine and recording deflections at increasing loads up to 60kg; and calculating the rigidity modulus and stiffness using the recorded measurements and appropriate formulas. The test will determine the material properties of the spring under tension.

TEST ON CLOSE COILED HELICAL SPRING

Ex. No.:6
AIM
To conduct tension test on the given closecoiled helical spring and to determine the following:
1. Stiffness of the material
2. Rigidity modulus of the material

BASIC CONCEPT
Springs are invariably used to absorb energy and to release it as and when require
d. The energy stored
due to applied load is directly proportional to its deflection.

APPARATUS
1. Spring testing machine
2. Vernier caliper

FORMULAE
Modulus of rigidity, G = 64WR3n (N/mm2)
d4
Where,
n = No of coils in the spring
W = load applied (N)
R = mean radius of the coil (mm)
= deflection of the spring (mm)
d = diameter of the spring wire (mm) and
Stiffness of the spring, S = W (N/mm)

Where,
W = load (N)
= deflection (mm)

PROCEDURE
1. For the given spring, the number of coils is noted
2.
Using vernier caliper, the external diameter and the thickness of the spring wire
is measured.
3.
The machine is switched on and the spring is loaded. The deflections are not
ed at every 10 kg
interval.
4. The deflection is taken till the load reaches 60 kg.
5.
By applying the formulae, the modulus of rigidity and stiffness of the spring ar
e calculated.
