Our dial torque wrenches are designed with a unique, recessed dial, which helps to minimize display damage. We offer calibration for new and existing equipment, with specialists in our laboratory offering RS and UKAS-accredited services – which is recognised internationally as the industry mark of quality.

Accurate torque measurement is crucial to ensure proper mechanical operations. Our innovative dial type torque wrenches offer many features to simplify measuring torque: Discover more about the benefits and costs of our fast and professional calibration service. How are they calibrated? To make sure torque wrenches provide reliable and precise measurements, they should be regularly calibrated. Digital Torque Wrench: Digital Torque Wrenches often feature a digital display to provide accurate torque readings. Torque settings can be adjusted and additional features like audible or visual alerts may display when the required torque has been appliedFeaturing a lightweight aluminum handle, this durable wrench isn't length dependent, and it offers a variety of unique specifications Torque wrenches are precise measuring devices which require care in handling. Always place tool in storage box after use. Do not use cheater bars, hammers, or any other damaging object.

It’s vital to regularly calibrate instruments, as their accuracy will reduce over time and with use. The permitted frame of calibration error is 5% – with any error beyond that potentially affecting the performance of the tool quite seriously, which could lead to liability for product failure. Testing the tools highlights any potential problems and allows them to be fixed before they can lead to a serious issue. Calibration also ensures the user can have confidence in the accuracy of their tool and that it complies with international standards. How often should they be calibrated? Torque wrenches are used to tighten fastenings with a high degree of precision by allowing the user to apply a pre-set torque which eliminates under or over tightening Types of Torque Wrench Slipping Torque Wrench: Slipping Torque Wrenches disengage or slip once the pre-set torque is reached, preventing further torque application. Dial Torque Wrench: Dial Torque Wrenches utilize a dial or gauge with a calibrated scale and rotating needle to display the applied torque and indicate the torque value applied.It’s thought by some professionals that the performance is affected between 2,500-3,000 repetitions, so it’s recommended to have it calibrated once it reaches 2,500 repetitions. Smart Torque Wrench: Smart Torque Wrenches incorporate wireless connectivity such as Bluetooth or WiFi to connect to mobile devices or a computer network via an app or software

How often this needs to be done depends largely on how frequently the tool is used, as there aren’t strict or legal time periods for having it calibrated. Breaking Torque Wrench (or break-over torque wrench): features a pivot point or hinge which ˈbreaks overˈ when the pre-set torque is reached. This allows the handle to move or rotate indicating that the required torque has been applied. From the trusted RS PRO brand, this dial torque wrench is a perfect tool for operators for professional applications. Unlike conventional torque wrenches, it features an analogue dial that is clear and easy to ready both in SI and Imperial units. It also contains two indicators(main and slave) for accurate reading and setting of torque value required. Torque wrenches should be calibrated to the desired level of torque with a torque analyser before use. It is recommended that micrometer wrenches are stored at 20% of full reading to maintain accuracy. All torque wrenches should be recalibrated at least once a year or more frequently depending on usage. It’s recommended that all test and measure instruments are taken to accredited laboratories to be professionally calibrated.When it comes to tools, RS PRO is there to support you every step of the way, no matter how ambitious your project or installation. It’ll have an analogue meter showing the amount of force being applied to the bolt. Watch the gauge carefully until it reaches the desired torque level, then stop applying force to the handle.
