Title: Torque wrench error
Post by: marand on 10-11-2009 -- 02:23:50
Below 20% of FS ANSI allows an error in reading equal
to 0. 8% of torque wrench capacity.  Does anyone know if such a condition exist in ISO and what is the percentage - if any - ?
Thanks for your time

I have the Torque ISO at work.  Running late this morning, but when I get to the lab, I'll take a look to see what it says.

32b14-1-1-101 allows no reading in the lower 20% so if you are AF it really doesn't matter.

DO NOT USE BELOW 20 percent!   The errors can be all over the place.   When in doubt, switch to a smaller wrench that envelopes the useable range you need.
