KEEP TORQUE RIGHT ON TARGET.

Tools, like the aircraft they keep in the air, also need proper and routine maintenance.  Tools get dropped, misused, even wear out, and our calibration laboratory offers the equipment and expertise to get your tool's torque spot-on when it's accuracy gets a little off.

safety in numbers.

In matters of torque, knowing when to re-calibrate matters. 


 

5000 
CYCLES OR 12 MONTHS
 


This is the ASME recommended period for re-calibration, but many businesses may have their own procedures.

 


 

25%+ 
OVERLOAD
 


Another standard for torque calibration is, if the wrench is subject to an overload of 25% or more above the nominal maximum, then re-calibration is suggested.

 

 

AFFECTING FACTORS

There are no hard and fast rules about how long a torque wrench will stay calibrated. Circumstances and factors that lead to different re-calibration intervals include:
1  FREQUENCY OF USE



2  SETTING OF THE WRENCH AS A PERCENTAGE OF FULL SCALE



3  GENERAL CARE OF THE TOOL DURING STORING AND USAGE











Careless torque can
COST LIVES.
