UKAS Certification
Gedore torque has a UKAS-accredited calibration laboratory,based at our site in the UK.
Here we are able to recalibrate most Hand Torque tools, analysers and transducers in accordance with National and International standards.
The technical competence of the Laboratory and its staff have been independently accredited by
UKAS to ISO/IEC 17025. UKAS (The United Kingdom Accreditation service)
is the only national accreditation body recognised by the British government to assess the competence of
organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services.
THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARD
ISO: 6789 FOR HAND TORQUE TOOLS STATES:
The effective working range of a tool
The accuracy requirements for Torque screwdrivers are +/-6% of reading and for Torque wrenches are +/-4% of reading or +/-6% for Torque wrenches below 10 N.m
The maximum Torque value for each hex & square drive size
Scale & marking requirements
An overload ability of 125% of maximum Torque capacity
A calibration interval of 5000 cycles or 12 months
Test & measuring procedures at 23° +/-5°C
The maximum permissable uncertainity of measurement of the calibration device shall be +/-1% of indicated value
is the only national accreditation body recognised by the British government to assess the competence of
organisations that provide certification, testing, inspection and calibration services.
What can we learn about Torque?
In this section we will learn more about Torque, how it is measured, how to specify the Torque value of fasteners and how to correctly tighten Bolted Joints.
WHAT IS TORQUE?
Torque is the application of force acting at a radial distance and tending
to cause rotation; this is also called torque loading.
It’s used to create tension in threaded fasteners.
When the nut and bolt are tightened the two plates are clamped together.
The thread converts the applied Torque into tension in the bolt shank.
This in turn is converted into a clamping force.
The amount of tension created in the bolt is critical.
EXPLAINING THE CREATION OF A CLAMPING FORCE
- The tension in the bolt creates a clamping force (generally referred to as the preload) between the two parts.
- If the clamping force is too low, the fasteners can work loose due to vibrations or movement between the component parts.
- If a clamping force is too high, the fastener may permanently stretch and no longer apply the required clamping force.
- In severe cases the fastener may fail in assembly or during use when under loaded.
HOW DO YOU CALCULATE TORQUE?
Torque is the result of multiplying the value of Force applied by
the Distance from the point of application.
Comparing the two examples below (A and B) it will be noted
that the same resultant torque can be achieved with a lower
Force if the Distance from the nut/bolt is increased.
dependent which means that the actual torque applied to the
fastener varies if the hand position on the wrench is varied -
even with the wrench preset. This occurs if the pivot point of the
wrench mechanism is not coincidental with the point of
application of torque.
