Aegis Sales & Service Chinchilla workshop now offers torque wrench calibrations to Australian Standards ISO6789 Part 1 and each calibration is supplied with a certificate of conformance.
Our technicians have been trained in the recalibration of torque wrenches to ensure the accuracy and reliability of tools being used on a regular basis.
Torque wrenches need to be taken care of properly with periodic calibrations. The recommended torque wrench calibration frequency is a minimum of 12 monthly or 5000 cycles.
Our Calibration Laboratory is capable of calibrating torques from 0 to 1500 Nm.
Torque wrench calibration, why should you do it?
Calibrating your torque wrench is important in order to ensure that the torque wrench is providing accurate readings. If a torque wrench is not properly calibrated, it can lead to incorrect torque settings, which can cause fasteners to be over or under-tightened. This can lead to parts coming loose or being damaged.
Calibrating a torque wrench will help ensure that the correct torque is applied to each fastener.
Torque Wrench Calibration ensures that the wrench is providing accurate readings when tightening fasteners. This is important because over-tightening a fastener can cause damage to the fastener or the surrounding material, while under-tightening can cause the fastener to come loose. Calibration also helps to ensure that the wrench is working properly and that it is not providing inaccurate readings.
The accuracy of your torque wrench can be affected by one or more of the following:
- Frequency of use
- Improper storage
- Temperature and weather
- Improper use
