English term or phrase: torque spring
Lab test of of soil samples : Complete context :

The laboratory vane shear test consist of inserting a four-bladed vane in the end of a tube sample
and rotating it at a constant rate to determine the torque required to cause a cylindrical surface to be
sheared by the vane. This torque is then converted to a unit shearing resistance of the cylindrical
surface area. The torque is measured by a calibrated torque spring that is attached directly to the
vane.

Explanation:
eller momentfjäder. jag börjar luta åt att det faktiskt inte är en torsionsfjäder, utan en vridfjäder. Man kan knappast driva en propeller med en torsionsfjäder, men med en vridfjäder går det ju bra.
