Testers improve safety standards

The tester offers an accuracy of ±1% and a range of up to 1000Nm .The basic model has no changeable settings and is designed for click-type wrenches. An operator simply sets a torque on the wrench, applies it to the tester, and the actual torque applied is displayed on a clear light-emitting diode (led) screen. The TruCheck Plus is a version which, in addition, allows a user to select units of measurement and also whether the torque wrench is a click or dial type. As well as a numeric display a tolerance band can be set and the result (low, within tolerance, or high) is indicated by an amber, green, or red light. Data can be downloaded to a pc for storage or for the production of calibration certificates.
