    This document describes a test conducted on an open-coiled helical spring to determine its stiffness and rigidity modulus. Measurements of the spring's geometry were taken using calipers. The spring was loaded in increments up to 60kg while its deflection was measured. The rigidity modulus and stiffness were calculated using formulas involving the load, deflection, and spring dimensions. The rigidity modulus was determined to be 185.58 N/mm2 from calculations and 382.39 N/mm2 from a graph, while the stiffness was 34.22 N/mm from calculations and 60.268 N/mm from the graph.

    TEST ON OPEN – COILED HELICAL SPRING


    Ex. No.:8 SAHIL CHOUDHURY

    AIM
    To conduct tension test on the given open-coiled 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 required. 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/ δd4(N/mm2)
    Where,
    n = No of coils in the spring W = load applied (N)
    R = mean radius of the coil (mm) δ = deflection of the spring (mm)
    d = diameter of the spring wire (mm) and
    Stiffness of the spring, S =W/ δ (N/mm)

    OBSERVATION
    No. of coils, n = 5
    Table 1: To measure external diameter of coil and thickness of spring wire
    Least count of the vernier caliper = 0.02 mm
    S.NO Description M.S.R V.S.R T.R = M.S.R

    2. diameter of 55 4 0.08 55.08
    the coil Mean: 55.62

    1. Internal 39 10 0.20 39.20


    2. diameter of 39 8 0.16 39.16
    the coil
    Mean: 39.18

    Mean = 55.62
    – 39.18
    = 16.44

    Mean: Modulus of rigidity =185.58 N/mm2
    Mean Stiffness = 34.215 N/mm

    Where,
    W = load (N)
    δ = 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 noted 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 are calculated.

    GRAPH
    Load versus deflection graph is drawn by taking deflection in X-axis and load in Y-axis. The slope of
    this line is substituted in the formulae to find the Rigidity modulus of the material.
    RESULT
    The following values are calculated by conducting tension test on the given open-coiled helical spring
    such as:
    Rigidity modulus, G =185.58N/mm2 (from calculation)
    G = 382.39N/mm2 (from graph)
    Stiffness of the spring, S = 34.22N/mm (from calculation)

    S = 60.268 N/mm (from graph)

    INFERENCE
    Modulus of rigidity is the measurement of the stiffness of spring or its elastic ability.
    The load and deflection are directly proportional to each other.
    Stiffness and rigidity of modulus of the helical spring is determined by conducting tension test.
