Torque Instruments

Torque Testers measure torque forces in applications such as tools and bottle caps. Torque Tester applications vary from testing of tools like torque wrenches to bottle caps. Cap torque testers are ideal for lab or production use for closure manufacturers, bottlers, and food and beverage companies.

How do Force Gauges and Torque Testers work?
A force gauge uses a strain gauge type load cell to make the force measurement. Load cells are also used on electronic scales. They are very reliable and repeatable. Just do not subject them to sudden load shocks. A Torque Tester is similar but additionally has a mechanical arrangement to translate the torque motion to deflection of the strain gauge
