Regular torque tool calibration and re-calibration guarantees the operator repeatable accuracy and adherence to international standards. Calibration also ensures torque equipment is operating to peak performance and can highlight potential tooling problems before they arise perhaps due to tool wear or broken components.
Torque calibration equipment can be found in many industry sectors such as:

Research & Development
As technology moves ever forward, with the implementation of new materials, processes and assembly techniques there is a demand for accurate torque application. The accurate calibration of torque tools is a vital part of this process.

Inspection & Quality Control
The accurate and repeatable application of torque is fundamental in any quality control process in order to save time and money. Torque equipment calibrated regularly and accurately can and will allow you to reach these goals:

Production
Torque tools calibrated correctly can provide repeatable accuracy saving time, money, materials and labor. Regularly calibrated and certified torque tools, reduce the risk of products failing in service, saving money from warranty and re-work costs.

Servicing
Engineers involved in servicing may have to apply various and accurate torque settings to a range of components. Accurate calibration of these tools is vital in achieving accurate torque applications.

Mountz, Inc., a specialist in the design and manufacture of torque control products, announces the next generation of the EZ-TorQ torque tester, a cost effective calibration tester used to verify and calibrate hand and power tools. The EZ-TorQ II is a simple to use torque tester that features a built-in transducer and graphics display. The easy-to-use torque tester is ideal for all small hand torque and non-impacting torque power tools. The small size and portability of the EZ-TorQ II makes it ideal for checking torque tools on the production floor or calibrating in a lab.  The concept of torque validation is a central theme in every successful quality assurance program.

As a torque controlling, monitoring and documentation solution, the EZ-TorQ IIenables operators and engineers to ensure product quality, safety and reliability promptly on the production floor. The EZ-TorQ II can calibrate torque screwdrivers and calibrate torque wrenches as well as power tools to avoid over tightening problems such as stripped fasteners and parts, under or over torque tightening problems, which can increase liability and risk of recall.
