Chapter 11 - Frequently Asked Questions
Can Torq-Tronics ® be used to test dial or beam-type torque wrenches?
No. There is a critical 4:1 ratio that must be maintained or exceeded when testing torque
wrenches and torque screwdrivers. The tester must be at least four times as accurate as the
torque wrench or torque screwdriver to be tested on it. Since
Torq-Tronics ®
has an accura-
cy of ± 1% Indicated Value, it should only be used to test tools of ± 4% I.V. accuracy or
less.
If you have (or acquire) dial or beam-type torque wrenches, look at the S/R System 4/5
Digital Torque Testers. They provide excellent platforms for testing all types of torque
tools.
What is Torque Tool Manager?
Torque Tool Manager is software designed by Sturtevant Richmont to enable owners of our
various digital torque testers to immediately and economically create a torque calibration
system meeting all ISO and QS-9000 requirements. This software runs on any PC running
Windows 3.1 or later, and with the addition of a serial cable:
* Create a database containing the make, model, serial number, test procedure, and cali-
bration interval for each torque tool the user owns.
* Store the N.I.S.T. traceability numbers for the tester and each transducer used with the
tester.
* Immediately access the record for each tool, start a new calibration, feed the data direct-
ly from the tester to the software, record the name of the Inspector, and date of calibra-
tion, then generate and ISO and QS-acceptable certification with one click of the mouse
button.
* Save the record of calibration electronically for proof of performance.
Those owners who seek to attain compliance with ISO or QS 9000 requirements in their
calibration of torque tools find this software quite worthwhile. It is fully Y2K compliant,
and can be obtained through your local S/R distributor.
Is the backlight on the Torq-Tronics ® display adjustable?
There is no adjustment for brightness or contrast on the display. The display operates with
no backlight when the unit is used without AC power supplied. The purpose of this is to
conserve battery power for maximum utility when used as a portable tester. The backlight
is accessible, at only one brightness level, when AC power is used.
