Chapter 3 - Testing Torque Wrenches & Manual Torque
Screwdrivers
This section covers the testing of clicker-type torque wrenches and manual torque screw-
drivers using your
Torq-Tronics ®
. These tool types have a specified accuracy of ± 4% to ±
6% Indicated Value (I.V.) or less, and are suitable for testing on the
Torq-Tronics ®
, which
has an accuracy of ± 1% I.V. Tools of accuracy tighter than ± 4% I.V. should be tested on a
torque tester of tighter accuracy. This includes most dial- and beam-type torque wrenches.
If you have a need to calibrate such tools, contact Sturtevant Richmont for assistance in
selecting an appropriate torque measurement system.
This section assumes your
Torq-Tronics ®
has been properly installed, and that any commu-
nications connections have been made. If these steps have not been performed, please per-
form them according to the instructions in the preceding chapter.
A clicker-type torque wrench will be used as an example in this chapter's photographs and
text. The procedure for testing a torque screwdriver is the same as that used for the torque
wrench.
Starting the Torq-Tronics ®
1. Move the power switch to the ON position.
2. Allow the
Torq-Tronics ®
to boot up. During this process, two messages will be dis-
played on the LCD.
a. "System 7 Ver 1.1"
b. "TORQTRONICS [Model #}"
3. After these two messages have been displayed and cleared, the tester will display its
operating status on the LCD. This will consist of:
a. A plus (+) or minus (-) sign in front of
b. a torque value at or near zero, followed by
c. the units of measure currently in use.
d. There will then be one or two blanks, followed by
e. "TK" to indicate the tester is in Track mode.
4. If the displayed torque value is not zero, press the Zero key to return the tester to zero
value.
5. Press the Peak Select key twice to page from Track mode to Initial Peak mode. The last
two characters on the display will change to "IP" when the tester has entered this mode.
6. If you wish the test results to automatically print and clear from the LCD within a few
seconds of test completion, press the Auto key once. An "A" will be displayed immedi-
ately behind the units of measure. If you wish the torque measurement to be displayed
until you wish it cleared, you need do nothing. Clearing each measurement from the
display will require pressing the Clear/Print key after each display when in manual
mode.
