Sealey Ak624 Micrometer Torque Wrench 1/2Sq Drive Calibrated

Product Information

Whether you are an individual user, or a larger company that relies on torque wrenches, investing in GNW’s professional calibration service is the best way to ensure their continued reliability and accuracy. Used widely in a range of professional trades, car mechanics regularly use torque wrenches when servicing or repairing vehicles. Every fixing in a car has a specified torque value that needs to be met for safe use. And each type of vehicle has unique torque specifications that must be followed to prevent damage. It’s recommended that all test and measure instruments are taken to accredited laboratories to be professionally calibrated.

But for the tool to provide accurate readings, they need to be calibrated often. Continue reading to understand how to calibrate a torque wrench and why this is necessary. Whilst torque wrenches may initially be costly, having them in your toolbox will prove priceless! They will save you time and effort, and most importantly, mitigate risks of an unsafe installation, and therefore injury.

Torque wrenches allow you to measure and limit the amount of force applied to a fixing. Every nut and bolt in your car will have a torque value. It’s particularly important that you have a torque wrench to hand if you’re working on the engine, gearbox or any crucial components in the drivetrain or suspension system. It is not recommended to use a torque wrench that has not been calibrated as it may lead to inaccurate torque readings and result in equipment failure.

Repeat this process at least three times to ensure accuracy and consistency. Once you’re confident that your torque wrench is properly calibrated, you can start using it with confidence. Remember to recalibrate regularly to maintain accuracy.

The ISO 6789-1:2017 standard differs from the ISO 6789-2:2017 standard in that it does NOT include specifications for Type I and Type II hand torque tool calibration certificates. ISO 6789-2:2017 Overview Set your new torque wrench to 25-foot pounds by placing the handle of the torque wrench on the mark on your scale. This, in turn, will reduce the risk of future costly rework; so you could in fact be saving money in the long run, too! While a professional can calibrate a torque wrench using torque calibration tools like a torque sensor or torque analyser, you can also perform the calibration yourself. Torque wrenches are designed for specialised tasks that require an accurate and measured amount of force to be applied to a fastener, like a nut or a bolt. Calibrated to precise standards for tasks that require accurate fixing, only a torque wrench will do.
