Torque Wrenches

How often should I calibrate my Torque Wrench?

Recalibration should be 5000 cycles or every 12 months. However, the standard recognises that many businesses will have their own procedures for the control of test devices and, as a torque wrench can be considered a test device, a company’s own procedures must take precedence over the default 5000 cycles/12 months.

The reason that there is really no simple answer to the recalibration is that circumstances of use will vary widely and this will have a direct bearing on how long the torque wrench is likely to stay in calibration. Factors such as the frequency of use, setting of the wrench as a percentage of full scale, general care taken in use and storage, ambient conditions in use and storage will all have their effect.
