CALIBRATION CHAPTER 5
CHAPTER 5
CALIBRATION
The SURETEST Torque Calibration System is factory calibrated using precision torque
test arms, certified weights and laboratory grade equipment.
This chapter contains calibration instructions and information for the SURETEST System.
Annual calibration is recommended. Calibration by the user is recorded in memory and
voids factory certification. Contact your authorized CDI sales representative for
calibration and repair services.
If extreme calibration precision is required, refer to Correction Factors on Test Weights
in this chapter.
Mounting Details
Single Transducer Mounting Detail for Calibration
Single transducer calibration requires the use of a reaction stand and transducer calibration
block. SURETEST series transducers must be positioned horizontally, with torque
applied within ±15 degrees of horizontal.
As shown in Figure 5.1, the transducer is secured to the calibration block with two quick
release pins.
• Both pins must be installed for safety and stability of the mount.
• The white mark on the transducer is aligned in the up position.
