Why Should I Calibrate My Torque Wrench?

To keep your tool working accurately and reliably, calibrating your torque wrench is an important part of servicing your equipment. If a faulty torque wrench is a part of your operations, it can pose a threat to safety and the overall production flow of your processes. Torque wrenches are there to exercise a precise pressure that must be applied to properly connect and tighten the fasteners, failing to do so properly risks unreliable and vulnerable bolt connections.

GNW are a team of trained technicians, certified to calibrate every type of torque wrench. By using trusted experts to take care of the calibration, you avert the danger of using faulty equipment. It’s neither a complex nor lengthy service, we’re able to deliver premium calibration and return your torque wrench back to you in no time at all.

How Often Should I Get My Torque Equipment Calibrated?

You can choose to either calibrate your torque wrench each time it surpasses 5,000 cycles, or every 12 months, whichever comes first. GNW technicians can carry out the calibration either at our Southport-based calibration facility, or at your own premises on-site. You can either send your torque wrench to us using your own courier or we can arrange one on your behalf. In some circumstances, we can even have your torque tool back to you the same day.

No adjustments or repairs would be carried out at this stage. A repair quote would need to be provided and accepted prior to any additional works being completed.
