Norbar Torque Tools Inc. has introduced a new range of products for testing hydraulic torque wrenches with torque ranges from 185 foot-pounds to 59,000 foot-pounds.
Comprising a hydraulic tool calibration fixture and a transducer linked to a torque measurement instrument, the hydraulic wrench testers accurately calibrate both square drive and hexagon link torque wrenches, according to the company.
The devices are suited for end-user companies with quantities of hydraulic wrenches wishing to avoid the costs and potential delays of using a calibration sub-contractor; for tool rental companies that must ensure their wrenches are calibrated prior to leasing; and for calibration and tool repair companies or laboratories that offer calibration services, the company says.
