Understanding Torque Wrench Accuracy

Apply Torque

The accuracy for a torque wrench can be stated in terms of Full Scale (FS) or Indicated Value (IV). There is a big difference in result as full scale accuracy indicates the allowable error over the full-scale range of the tool. Indicated value accuracy indicates allowable error at the set point on the wrench. Indicated…
