TORQUE WRENCHES

TORQUE WRENCHES
The importance of torque control
Fastening a threaded fastener in a controlled manner is essential for
operational safety and the long service life of screws and bolts. Manual
fastening without any torque control is a safety risk.
Depending on personal constitution, the screwed fi tting can be over-tightened
and there is the risk of breakage or the screwed fi tting can become loose and
open with very low application of force.
A torque wrench that has been calibrated regularly helps to achieve the
specifi ed fastening torques or avoids over-tightening.
Confidence is good -
torque control
is better!
Competence and service
Our competence is expressed by the measuring instruments and test
equipment used by us, which are monitored continuously and, if required,
adjusted, by a laboratory that is accredited by the DKD (German Calibration
Service). They are calibrated by comparing them with standard reference
units, which are traceable to the national standards.
This ensures our competency in the fi eld of controlled fastening of screws and,
in the long term, the quality of our torque wrenches and equipment.
Torque wrenches and torque test instruments are measuring tools; just as any
other measuring tool, they must also be serviced regularly and calibrated with
suitable measuring instruments and, if required, adjusted. The test interval
periods depend on the frequency of use.
Our service includes the affordable requirement of both
the normal calibration certifi cate in accordance with
DIN EN ISO 6789 and on request, the calibration
certifi cate in accordance with DKD (German
Calibration Service) guidelines.
We maintain, calibrate and adjust those of our own
manufacture within 5 working days after goods are
received in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 6789
standards including the factory test certifi cate and the
control sticker.
