Study Notes
Torque Wrenches Maintenance
- Daily checks on torque wrenches are essential to maintain accuracy.
- Calibration should be conducted using weights and a measured lever arm for precision.
- Comparing one torque wrench against another for accuracy verification is not recommended.
- Torque wrenches can be sensitive to their support during tightening, affecting performance.
- Manufacturers' instructions for operation and maintenance must be meticulously followed.
Using Extensions and Adapters
- When utilizing a special extension or adapter with a torque wrench, a specific mathematical equation is required.
- This equation calculates the correct torque reading to ensure the accuracy of the applied force.
