Uncertainty of measurement in torque calibration

Feanor (Estonia) is promoting a discussion and a FP6 project (MUTORQUE) to define a common guideline for the evaluation of measurement uncertainty for dial and setting torque wrenches.

The objective is to reach a joint document at European Accrediation (EA) level (i.e. like the EA-10/14), including examples and good laboratory practice for accredited laboratories for torque calibration. This would foster mutual acceptance of calibration certificates and a common evaluation method for the measurement uncertainty. The result should also help manufacturers to improve repeatability, ,accuracy and stability of such measuring instruments. http://www.feanor.com(opens in new window) Feanor develops and supplies high quality special cutting tools in HSS, hard metal and PCD: special drills, cutters, reamers, counterborers, taps, integral, carbide tipped and indexable milling cutters. Custom tools are delivered in Europe and worldwide (Singapore, South Africa, South America). They increase machining performance in the aerospace, defence, automotive, metalworking, die & moulds, plastics industries. On receiving via fax or e-mail (preferably) your drawings / sketches with specifications and all necessary information we'll be pleased to offer you our technical assistance, price and delivery commitments. We develop and supply custom software applications in many areas including statistical process control (SPC), sampling acceptance (MIL STD 105, MIL STD 414, MIL STD 1235), data acquisition in manual or automatic manufacturing processes (Flexible Manufacturing systems), calibration of measuring instruments (vernier callipers, block gauges, outside & inside micrometers, precision dial gauges, height gauges), custom software to optimize machine tool settings (i.e. Reishauer, US, MSO, grinding machines.,
