This British Standard specifies a method for the calibration and
classification of torque measuring devices using continuous torque
application where the inertial effects are minimal. This includes
torque measuring devices used for the calibration of hand torque
tools conforming to BS EN ISO 6789, and torque measuring devices
conforming to BS 7882.
The information to be given on the certificate of calibration is also
specified in this standard.
Annex A provides diagrams of the continuous application of torque, and
examples for the calibration of torque measuring devices. Annex B gives
an example of determining uncertainty of the calibration results of the
torque measuring device. Annex C shows how to calculate mechanical
and electronic bandwidth.
