Norbar Torque Tools has
launched a new range of
products for testing
hydraulic torque wrenches from 250
to 80,000Nm. Comprising a
hydraulic tool calibration fixture and
a transducer, which link to a torque
measuring instrument, these devices
will accurately calibrate both square
drive and hexagon link torque
wrenches.

The Hydraulic Wrench Testers are
expected to prove useful to a variety
of end users, such as: Organisations
with many hydraulic wrenches
wishing to avoid the costs and
potential delays of using a calibration
sub-contractor; Tool hire companies
needing to ensure that their
wrenches are calibrated before being
hired out for a job; Calibration and
tool repair companies or laboratories
specialising in providing expert
calibration services.

The wide use of hydraulic torque
wrenches in industries such as petrochemicals,
mining and wind energy
coupled with the ever increasing
demands for calibration traceability
from industry and regulatory
authorities make the availability of
these testers highly relevant, says the
company.
