How Do You Calculate Dial Torque Wrench Setting

 

When you put an extension on a dial torque wrench (e.g. a crow foot or a dog bone) the torque applied to the fastener increases as the lever arm extends. The calculator will work out what value you should set into the wrench to achieve the required fastener torque.


The following formula has been used:
M1 = M2 x L1 / L2


Where:

  • M1 is the torque setting of the wrench
  • M2 is the actual torque applied to the nut
  • L1 is the normal length of the wrench
  • L2 is the extended length of the wrench

 

How to Use a Dial Torque Wrench

 

 

Designed to take the guesswork out of learning how to set a torque wrench correctly for a particular job, digital varieties do much of the work for you. dial torque wrenches can ensure that you always have the correct torque setting for the job at hand, leading to less issues down the road.


Dial torque wrenches are commonly used in manufacturing and production facilities where extreme precision is key, but they can be used in other capacities and at home as well:


Step 1: Set the torque value on your dial torque wrench. Most models feature a "SET" button and up or down arrows that allow you to change the torque value.


Step 2: Program the tolerance parameter to control the "Go" and "No-Go" signal responses. Set the upper and lower thresholds for safety and quality control purposes.


Step 3: Place your torque wrench and begin making adjustments. On most dial torque wrenches, a buzzer or light will indicate when you should stop applying torque.


Step 4: Check your reading. Most dial torque wrenches use a green light to let you know the correct torque has been achieved. A red light indicates the torque was not within the correct tolerance zone.

Digital Torque Wrench Storage

Dial torque wrench in regular use doesn't need to be wound back. If you expect to store a dial torque wrench for more than a few weeks, always wind it down to the lowest scale setting (never to zero).


Storing a fully loaded dial torque wrench can result in a set in the spring, weakening the spring over time. But if you completely offload the spring to the zero setting, other components within the wrench may move a little. And in the world of torque, a little is a lot. Reapplying spring compression will shift the orientation of these components, affecting accuracy.

 

 
8 Best Practices When Using Dial Torque Wrenches
 

Dial torque wrenches have been around for decades and are still the primary choice for providing an exact amount of force required for correct bolt tightening. It is due to their accuracy of high torque values, that they have gained incredible popularity over the years, but it is because of the high force they provide that it is imperative they're used in the correct manner.

By ensuring users follow the correct procedure for usage and set up, it will provide the best results and ensure operator safety.
Here are 8 best practices to help improve safety and efficiency when using a dial torque wrench:

01/

Know the recommended range: Recommended ranges are to protect the operator and dial torque wrench itself from injury and damage. Exceeding these recommended ranges increases the risk of unreliable results and even injury. On average, a dial torque wrench range is 20 to 100% of full scale and for electronic wrenches, that range is 10 -100%.

02/

Don't use extensions or adaptors: Using extensions or adaptors increases the risk of injury and causing damage the wrench by accidental inaccuracy. If there are no recommended extensions by the manufacturer, you must never use one.

03/

One-click is enough: Users often click multiple times without being aware additional torque is being applied and this causes more force to be exerted than required, this risks damage to your wrench. Using the "one-click is enough" method allows you to achieve the desired torque accurately in a controlled manner.

04/

Equipped storage: Always store your dial torque wrench in a protective case and follow manufacturers guidelines for storage to prevent damage to the spring, if stored for long periods of time.

05/

An anticlockwise thread: Most dial torque wrenches will indicate the clockwise direction, so check the specification before using in an anti-clockwise direction to prevent losing torque control.

06/

Calibrate correctly: If calibrated incorrectly or not at all, it can cause unknown torque values. Always know to inspect your tool prior to use and recalibrate your wrench at regular intervals, either on an annual basis or in-line with manufacturers guidelines.

07/

Lock for safety: Always apply the adjustment lock before operating if the wrench is fitted with one. Many injuries happen when accidental and unintended changes to the wrench settings occur.

08/

Protect yourself: Always wear the required Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses to protect the eyes, and the correct work gloves to protect hands from injuries.

 

Use of Dial Torque Wrench
 
 

Flip the ratchet lever to the appropriate position - To the right if tightening clockwise, to the left if tightening counterclockwise.

 
 

Determine the recommended torque for the fastener or component in question.

 
 

Push in the locking ring at the base of the handle and turn counterclockwise. Torque setting is determined by adding two numbers: The number directly above the red line in the scale window and the number aligned with the marker on the locking ring. Release the locking ring once the desired setting has been achieved.

 
 

Install the socket or bit onto the dial torque wrench by pushing the ball detent release button on the back of the wrench and engaging the socket.

 
 

Engage the socket or bit onto the fastener or component. Be sure the socket or bit is fully engaged and oriented squarely.

 
 

With your hand centered on the handle of the wrench, slowly apply force to the handle.

 
 

Keep an eye on the head of the dial torque wrench - once the head of the wrench deflects, the set torque value has been achieved. This deflection is often accompanied by a click, but may not be.

 

 

How Does a Dial Torque Wrench Work

 

The general principle of a dial torque wrench is that as torque is applied to a fastener, the dial torque wrench uses a calibrated mechanism to display the torque applied or otherwise indicate when a specified torque has been reached. The three most common types of dial torque wrenches are beam type, click type, and digital.


The handle rod is designed to bend as torque is applied to the fastener. The torque display scale remains unbent allowing the relative angle between each rod to indicate the torque. These are the least expensive and simple type of dial torque wrench, but rely on the user to constantly look at the torque scale. This may be challenging in some bicycle applications where wrench positioning is limited.


A digital torque wrench uses a strain gauge attached to a torsion rod to measure torque and convert it into the common torque units using a processor. The digital torque wrenches work on similar principles as a beam type torque wrench, but are more advanced, displaying the torque value digitally as the fastener is tightened. In addition, many digital torque wrenches sounds a digital alarm when a preset torque value is reached.

● Dial torque wrenches are designed to apply a specific amount of force to a bolt to prevent under-tightening or over-tightening, which can damage parts or leave them insecure.


● While some dial torque wrenches have indicators to show when the desired torque is reached, they do not stop applying force automatically. Instead, some models may emit a click or other signal to indicate the torque has been achieved.


● Proper use involves setting the wrench to the specified torque level before use, and it is essential to calibrate the wrench regularly to maintain accuracy.


There are different kinds of dial torque wrenches, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, all of which are designed to measure the torque value: The amount of force applied while fastening a nut or bolt. They're all tools designed to both fasten properly and to prevent over-tightening or under-tightening a bolt. Over-tightening can cause damage to the fastener, and under-tightening can result in making the item you are attaching or assembling structurally weak and potentially unsafe for use.


Some dial torque wrenches require constant reading of the torque indicator, so that you know when to stop twisting the bolt. Some have a dial to set the required torque, but the indicator doesn't stop applying force automatically when torque is reached. They may have a visual signal such as a digital reading or an audible beep or click. Some dial torque wrenches are difficult to use in tight places where reading a gauge or indicator may not be possible, as in automotive applications. A click dial torque wrench can be preset to a specific torque level. The wrench has a clutch mechanism that makes a clicking noise and slips when the maximum level is reached to prevent exceeding the preset torque level.

 

How to Maintain Your Dial Torque Wrench

 

 

Dial torque wrenches are precision tools and should be treated with the utmost care.


Maintaining your dial torque wrench requires regular checking for wear and tear as well as keeping a close eye on potential defective parts.


The more you use your dial torque wrench the faster is will begin to show signs of wear.


● Inspect the ratchet
The wrenches ratchet should be regularly cleaned and lubricated. You should also periodically check that the screws in the head are tight. The handle should not be loose and should not contain any lubricant or corrosion when being used.


● Store correctly
Always keep your dial torque wrench dry and store it in an appropriate case to protect it from chemicals, grime and dust. Before storing, make sure to wipe down your wrench with a clean cloth as residue liquid could damage or corrode the wrench over time if left unattended.


● Follow instructions
If you ever need to disassemble your dial torque wrench always make sure you follow the provided instructions carefully and if necessary, use a competent technician instead.

FAQ
 

Q: How to use a dial torque wrench?

A: Load the dial torque wrench at a slow and steady rate until the black pointer indicates the desired torque. The black pointer should push the orange memory pointer toward the desired torque. If the black pointer moves away from the orange memory pointer, the bezel was rotated in the wrong direction.

Q: What is the 20 rule for dial torque wrenches?

A: Dial torque wrenches that are scaled below 20% of full scale may not be accurate and may lead users to operate them below their useful range. Select a dial torque wrench so your working range falls near the mid point of its capacity.

Q: How do I read the settings on a dial torque wrench?

A: The numbers represent the amount of torque in either foot-pounds (ft. -lbs.) or Newton meters (Nm). Wherever the arrow is pointed designates the amount of torque that you're applying to a lug or nut. In the stationary position, the wrench should read 0.

Q: Do dial torque wrenches need to be calibrated?

A: Periodic recalibration is necessary to maintain accuracy. Periodic examination and cleaning is necessary to maintain the wrench. This manual covers the repair, maintenance and troubleshooting instructions to identify and remedy problems that could occur with the CDI Dial Indicating dial torque wrenches.

Q: What is the difference between a dial torque wrench and a dial wrench?

A: An electronic dial torque wrench is similar to a dial wrench except that it is digital. This tool has a digital display for torque readings, as well as visual, auditory, and sensory signals to let the operator know when the preset torque has been reached.

Q: How do you calculate dial torque wrench setting?

A: When you put an extension on a dial torque wrench (e.g. a crow foot or a dog bone) the torque applied to the fastener increases as the lever arm extends. The calculator will work out what value you should set into the wrench to achieve the required fastener torque. The following formula has been used: M1 = M2 x L1 / L2.

Q: How do you know if dial torque wrench is calibrated?

A: Set your dial torque wrench to a foot-pound number for example, 80-foot pounds0 place it on the tester and pull until the dial torque wrench clicks or otherwise notifies you that you have reached 80-foot pounds. If the meter also reads 80-foot pounds, your wrench is in good calibration.

Q: What is the formula for calibrating a dial torque wrench?

A: The equation is: handle distance times weight divided by 12. In order to determine the right setting for the dial torque wrench, multiply the distance you measured in step 2 by the 20 pounds you will be using for your weight.

Q: How do you use a dial torque wrench for beginners?

A: Use one hand to hold the pivot in place, then the other on the handle. Rotate the dial torque wrench until the it clicks, you should be able to hear, feel and see the click. As soon as that click activates, immediately stop turning . One click is all that's needed, otherwise you do risk over tightening the fastener.

Q: What setting should a dial torque wrench be set on when not in use?

A: To avoid fatiguing the spring, click-type dial torque wrenches should be wound down to the lowest value on the scale (not zero) when not in use.

Q: What happens if you don't calibrate a dial torque wrench?

A: Over time, these tools will eventually end up delivering more or less torque than they are intended to. As a result, the fasteners they're attaching may end up too loose, allowing them to back off under stress, or too tight, causing them to deform, shear, or otherwise break.

Q: How accurate should a dial torque wrench be?

A: Most dial torque wrenches are advertised with an accuracy of ±2-6%. If you dig a little deeper, the specs also provide a percentage called full-scale that is typically listed as 20-100% of full scale. The full-scale specification means a dial torque wrench is not accurate when set at the lower settings of its scale.

Q: Should a dial torque wrench be set to zero after use?

A: Certainly, if the wrench is wound back at all it should not be adjusted below the minimum scale marking (usually 20% of maximum) - never to zero as this can adversely affect the calibration of the wrench.

Q: Should you zero a dial torque wrench after use?

A: A dial torque wrench in regular use doesn't need to be wound back. If you expect to store a dial torque wrench for more than a few weeks, always wind it down to the lowest scale setting (never to zero). Storing a fully loaded dial torque wrench can result in a set in the spring, weakening the spring over time.

Q: What must you ensure before using a dial torque wrench?

A: Calibrate correctly: If calibrated incorrectly or not at all, it can cause unknown torque values. Always know to inspect your tool prior to use and recalibrate your wrench at regular intervals, either on an annual basis or in-line with manufacturers guidelines.

Q: How do you set the value on a dial torque wrench?

A: Push in the locking ring at the base of the handle and turn counterclockwise. Torque setting is determined by adding two numbers: the number directly above the red line in the scale window and the number aligned with the marker on the locking ring. Release the locking ring once the desired setting has been achieved.

Q: How often do you need to calibrate a dial torque wrench?

A: Some industries have their own standards and require certification and documentation that each dial torque wrench is calibrated on schedule. The aviation industry is a notable example of this. In short, calibrate each dial torque wrench annually or by its 5,000th cycle unless your industry requires otherwise.

Q: What are the three units in which dial torque wrenches are calibrated?

A: Torque is measured most commonly as Newton meter (Nm), pound-inch (lb-in), or pound-foot (lb-ft) units. The last two are common in the U.S. but are often referred to as inch pounds and foot pounds.

Q: How do I know if my dial torque wrench is accurate?

A: Before you load the equipment, secure the clamp plate. Smoothly turn the handwheel to apply load to the dial torque wrench. To measure the applied torque, there should be a torque transducer attached to a display instrument. This will show you if the wrench is properly calibrated.

Q: How do you calibrate a dial torque wrench?

A: Hang the 20 lb (9.1 kg) weight from the dial torque wrench at your first mark and see if it clicks. If it doesn't, tighten the spring by turning the screw clockwise, then lift the weight and lower it again to test it. Repeat this process until the dial torque wrench clicks using the known weight.
