Procedure for calibration of Torque wrench
1)Set the torque wrench and dynamometer as shown in picture below.


2) Slowly pull the handle of torque wrench by chain block such that stable
indicator on dynamometer panel glows green. Note the reading on Dynamometer
panel when torque wrench snaps. Measure the distance from the center of socket
and pull from wrench handle as shown in picture below.



3) Torque wrench setting(kgf m) =Load (kgf) X D (m)
4) Prepare Calibration Certificate for the range of the torque in few steps and
include the Calculated Torque (T) for the corresponding Force (F) and moment
arm (D) in tabular form.

Torque Calculation


Torque is defined as: The measure of the force applied to produce rotational motion
(usually measured in foot-pounds). Torque is determined by multiplying the applied
force by the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied.

Torque = Force x Moment Arm
In the English system, torque is measured in foot-pounds or inch-pounds.
In the Metric system, torque is measured in Newton-meters.
8.851 inch-pounds = 1 Newton-meter
1 foot-pound = 12 inch-pounds
16 ounce-inches = 1 inch-pound
1 Newton = 1 kilogram-meter per second squared
Conversion Formulas:

foot-pounds 1.3558 Newton-meters

foot-pounds 12.0 inch-pounds
inch-pounds 0.0115 kilogram-meters
