9. Experimental Procedure

1. Measure the specimen size and overall length

Figure 9 - Specimen
2. Put the specimen and fix it at the end on the machine chuck and the zero reading is
needed to be set all on gauge.

3. The handwheel is needed to turn it on the clockwise to provide the applied load

Figure 8 – Worm Gear

4. For the rotation it increment is needed to be choose a quarter rotation (90° ) and the start
with second and third rotation (180° ) and for the forth and to 10 rotation of one rotation
(360° ).

5. For the reading the turning the handwheel at the position first or second or other then the
dial gauge is needed to set to be initial value as 0 and from that the reading of torque will
display at torque meter.

6. Record the data that obtain from the torque meter and the rotation of handwheel and plot
the graph from the given data.
