Torque Wrench Calibration Procedure

This document provides instructions for calibrating torque wrenches. Personnel should take safety precautions when performing the calibration and ensure all equipment is securely fastened. The torque wrench should be cleaned and its surfaces checked for levelness before calibration. The calibration involves taking torque measurements from the wrench at 20%, 60%, and 100% of its full scale over five sets of readings and ambient temperature conditions, and calculating the measurement uncertainty.

Calibration of Torque Wrenches

1. Scope : To perform Calibration of Torque Producing Equipments (Torque


Wrenches)

2. Precautions/Warning: Personnel performing Calibration shall adhere to the


following safety instructions:
• All safety equipments, shield, guards etc., for the safety of the personnel shall
be used. Failure to comply shall result in the injury of the personnel.
• Ensure all bolts and other hardware used to connect Torque Calibrator,
Transducer, Adapters and other common hardware are securely fastened.
Failure to comply may result in personnel injury and/or equipment damage.
• When using Digital Calibrators, use extreme care when selecting Torque
Calibrator Transducer, and ensure Transducer has sufficient span to cover range
of DUC (Device Under Calibration)
• In order to prevent possible damage to the electronics or Transducers, ensure
Digital Indicator POWER switch is OFF when connecting or disconnecting
Trasnducer cable.

3. Setup:
• Surfaces of the Torque Calibrator shall be cleaned with soft cloth prior to
calibration as dirt and other residue may damage the surfaces and affect their
accuracy.
• The saurface shall be checked for parallelism in both horizontal and vertical axis
with the help of spirit level or similar device.
• Use a glass of water and place it on the table where the Torque Calibrator is
placed so as to check the level of vibration.

4. Calibration:
• Bring the DUC into the Calibration area and set to lowest setting and allow it to
stabilize to the ambient temperature of the Calibration area for 24 hours.
• The Temperature shall be 23 °C ± 5 °C and RH shall be in between 40 to 60 RH.
• Switch ON the Torque Calibrator and allow 30 minutes warm up.
• Ensure DUC is perpendicular to the Torque Calibrator to eliminate misalignment
or friction errors. DUC must be able to move freely.
• The accuracy of the DUC shall be not better than than that of the Calibrator.
The Torque Calibrator is having an accuracy of ± 1 %.
• The Calibration points shall be taken from approximately 20%, 60% and 100%
wherever possible. Hence 20% shall be the lower point, 60% the middle point
and 100% the higher point of the full scale.
• Total of five sets shall be taken and shall be noted down in the Observation
Sheet.
• After completion of each successfull set of Calibration, ensure the Torque
Calibrator is on zero after relesing the Torque so as to prepare for the next set.
• After five set of reading calculate the measurement uncertainty.

THE END
