Torsion Twist Tester
The Ultimate Solution for Wire Quality Twist Testing
Twelve Twist Programs to Guarantee Flawless High Carbon Steel Wire and Copper/Aluminum Rod
Product Overview
Sjogren’s Torsion Twist Tester is available in three distinct models, each designed to cater to a broad spectrum of testing needs. It offers 12 customizable twisting programs, complete with cycle memory, ensuring comprehensive testing. Ideal for assessing brittleness, inclusions, hidden seams, and other defects, this tester is essential for evaluating high carbon steel wire or copper/aluminum rods.
The Torsion Twist Tester meticulously rotates a wire sample around its center to evaluate brittleness, inclusions, hidden seams, and other imperfections. Available in three models accommodating wire diameters from .010″ to .750″ (0.2mm to 19mm), it empowers your quality testing team to achieve faster, more efficient, and assured results.

1Programmable
Programmable counter with automatic forward/reverse capability. The Sjogren TTT includes a digital, touch screen display for efficiency and quality.
2Holding Chucks
The TTT from Sjogren features advanced holding chucks with replaceable jaws, delivering reliable and precise clamping force for a secure and uniform grip on test pieces.
3Semi-Automatic
Safe, semi-automatic operation provides consistent output test results: meets ASTM Test Specifications E558 and A930
4Angle Bender (optional)
Not Shown on Interactive model, a manual bender is available on the left of the machine to add a 90° bend to each side of the test rod/wire to ensure firm grip in chucks, especially for very hard steel.
5Linear Weight
Depending on test specifications, in order to avoid small diameter wires coiling upon themselves, a linear weight can be introduced to prevent this.
The weight is dependent on the strength of the material and the test specifications.
6Models for Any Strength
Light, medium, and heavy-duty models available ranging form 1/3hp to 1.5hp for testing tensile strengths up to 450,000 PSI and speeds of up to 120 RPM with test sample lengths from as small as 2" (0,50 mm) to 24" (610 mm).

Torsion Twist Tester FAQ
Is there a benefit to running the test in reverse?
The Torsion Twist Tester is completely programmable to any test specifications. The option to reverse and forward the twist is completely dependent on your customers test specifications. The reverse can show any deformation after being twisted in one way, confirming if any breaks or inclusions were inflicted during the forward twist.
Do my test parameters stay loaded in the programmable display?
Your parameters will stay on the machine until you select the option to reset your test settings.
What does the home button do?
The home button indexes the rotating chuck to standard setting so you can reload it with a new material, or bring it back to the beginning setting of the test.
