Torque wrench calibration helps you assess measured torque against the requirements of your assembly or maintenance work.

What is torque wrench calibration?

Calibration compares the tool's torque with a reference under defined conditions and reports the results and associated uncertainty. Adjustment or repair is a separate service to agree in advance.

When to calibrate and what to send

Follow your risk-based schedule and consider recalibration after impact, overload, repair or suspected malfunction. Send the make, model, range, unit, working points, direction and acceptance criteria, along with any prior certificate.
