Product Information

A torque wrench is an essential tool for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts, used to apply a precise amount of torque to a fastener such as a nut or bolt. However, over time and with regular use, a torque wrench may lose its accuracy. To ensure it remains reliable and delivers consistent results, it’s important to calibrate the torque wrench regularly. In this article, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to calibrate your torque wrench. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the steps of calibrating your torque wrench and how you can do it effectively. Introduction This tool is essential for throughbolts as it not only sets the anchor but also creates the necessary clamping force to secure the fixture. Depending on the precision requirements of your job, you may be able to work with a torque wrench with a couple of millimeters tolerance and can, therefore, consider you torque wrench to be calibrated. How to Calibrate a Torque Wrench If you store your torque wrench for a long time (more than several weeks), ensure that it is on its lowest setting. Otherwise, if kept at a high setting, it can cause the spring to weaken.

To ensure that torque wrenches can accurately measure the tightness of a fastener, they must undergo regular calibration, as mentioned earlier. Ensure you have a vast vertical room to perform the calibration test at home. If you are performing this test on some piece of equipment, place a piece of cardboard to avoid damaging the body of the equipment. Wear boots or steel-toe shoes if anything slips and the weight falls. · Step 3 You can easily ruin the wrench by overtightening it if you aren’t careful. If you have an adjustable wrench, you can adjust it to match the torque you need to loosen or tighten the lug nuts.Accuracy: Torque wrenches are tools to fasten the nuts or bolts at the exact required specification by the manufacturer. You can expect this accuracy with a properly calibrated torque wrench. Calibrating your torque wrench is an important process that should be done regularly to ensure the accuracy and consistency of your tools. Using a wrench that is not calibrated properly can lead to inaccurate torque readings and potentially dangerous situations. It is relatively easy to calibrate your torque wrench using a calibration tool or having it done by a professional.

Whether you are an individual user, or a larger company that relies on torque wrenches, investing in GNW’s professional calibration service is the best way to ensure their continued reliability and accuracy. Many fasteners, i.e. nuts and bolts, require a specific level of torque according to the manufacturer’s specifications or the machinery’s requirements. ISO 6789-1 on requirements and methods for design conformance testing and quality conformance testing - minimum requirements for declaration of conformance of torque tools divides torque wrenches as well as other torque measuring tools in 12 classes given hereunder,Why? Because if you fail to adequately torque a bolt, it could work its way loose. Or, if you tighten it too much, you could cause costly damage. About torque wrenches from Halfords Torque is a force used to rotate the plugs or screws. As torque wrenches are precision tools, give readout in the number of units. The measurements are inch-pounds, foot-pounds, kilograms Newton meters, and sometimes metric units. After How Long Should I Calibrate The Torque Wrench? You can choose either a digital or mechanical wrench. Both types of wrenches have their advantages and disadvantages. A digital wrench is easy to use, but it is expensive. A mechanical wrench is less expensive but isn’t easy to use. Step 2: Measure The Distance From The Drive Straight To Where You Are Measuring A torque wrench is a must-have tool for many engineers, mechanics, technicians, plumbers, and agriculturists. It avoids under-tightening or over-tightening fasteners, leading to equipment damage and hazardous situations, which increases the likelihood of injuries.

Torque Analyzer:A device that offers a digital display keeps you updated if the wrench is appropriately calibrated or not. You can adjust the units, modes and set them up accordingly. To startup, the analyzer applies torque, and this movement will transmit to an indicator. It will rest on maximum reading until it is zero. You can compare the reading on scale and the tester and follow the device’s alert to know the wrench calibrations needs. GNW Instrumentation can test the tolerances of your torque wrench within a range of 1Ncm (or 0.01Nm) to 2,000Nm. Provided it falls within a 4-6% tolerance in accordance with ISO 6789, it will be certified as passed and a fully traceable test certificate will be issued. No adjustments or repairs would be carried out at this stage. A repair quote would need to be provided and accepted prior to any additional works being completed. It is recommended that torque wrenches be calibrated by a certified professional who has the equipment and expertise to accurately calibrate the wrench. Regular torque wrench calibration is necessary to maintain the tool’s accuracy and prolong its lifespan, ensuring reliable performance. Tools Required for CalibrationInvesting in a professional torque wrench calibration service, such as GNW, can provide significant benefits to individuals and companies – making sure that torque wrenches operate correctly and that the necessary documentation and testing are carried out.
