Patent ID: 11486786

Abstract:
Methods and associated system for calibrating a torque device are provided. The method includes (I) providing a master torque tool having an accepted calibration, (II) attaching the torque device to be calibrated to an input shaft of a testing and calibration system, (III) energizing the torque device to a free spin under a no load and zero torque condition, (IV) performing a run down test by activating a torque engagement mechanism to transferred torque from the torque device to the master torque tool, (V) measuring a torque value from the master torque tool, the torque device, and the rotary inline torque transducer to generate a data set, (IX) repeating steps (IV) to generate a plurality of data sets and (V), and (VI) generating new calibration factors for input into a programmable control system of the torque device based on the plurality of data sets with a software package.
