Caltech provides professional torque calibration services for suitable torque wrenches, torque multipliers, torque testers and related measuring tools in Sharjah and Dubai.
Accurate torque application is important for fastening, assembly, maintenance and safety-critical operations. Torque tools can lose accuracy through repeated use, overloading, physical impact, improper storage or component wear.
Why Is Torque Calibration Important?
An inaccurate torque tool can cause fasteners to be under-tightened or over-tightened.
This may result in:
- Loose connections
- Damaged bolts or components
- Equipment failure
- Product-quality problems
- Failed inspections
- Potential safety risks
- Unnecessary repair costs
Regular calibration checks whether the tool applies or measures torque within its required tolerance.

Send the tool manufacturer, model, torque range, drive size and quantity to confirm capability.
Torque Wrench Calibration
Torque-wrench calibration compares the tool’s output against suitable reference equipment at agreed points across its operating range.
The process may include:
- Recording the tool make, model and serial number
- Inspecting the wrench for visible damage
- Exercising the tool before testing
- Applying torque at suitable measurement points
- Recording the indicated and reference values
- Calculating identified measurement error
- Reporting tools outside the required tolerance
- Adjusting the tool when available and approved
- Completing final verification
- Providing applicable calibration documentation
Torque Multiplier Calibration
Torque multipliers increase the torque applied by the operator or driving tool. Calibration helps determine whether the multiplier produces the expected output.
Service availability depends on the multiplier type, multiplication ratio, maximum torque and connection size.
Torque Tester Calibration
Torque testers and analysers are used to check torque tools. Their own accuracy must be verified to ensure that tool-testing results remain dependable.
Provide the tester’s torque range, measurement direction, units and required calibration points when requesting a quotation.
When Should Torque Tools Be Calibrated?
Torque tools should be checked:
- At their scheduled calibration interval
- After being dropped
- After being overloaded
- After repair or adjustment
- When results appear inconsistent
- Before safety-critical work
- According to manufacturer recommendations
- When required by a customer or quality procedure
Many organisations use a 12-month interval, but heavily used tools may require more frequent checks.
On-Site and Off-Site Torque Calibration
Portable torque tools are generally suitable for off-site calibration. On-site torque calibration may be available for customers with multiple tools or equipment that cannot be transported easily.
Availability depends on tool type, torque range, drive size, quantity and site conditions.
