Description
Torque control is not going away as a primary tightening strategy for fasteners. From the smallest screw to the largest bolt, just knowing what the proper torque is will not result in proper tension unless the correct torque tool is used - and it is used correctly.
Suppliers can solve a lot of fastener installation problems and bring great value-added information to their customers if they have a solid understanding of the proper use and selection of torque wrenches.
This is a technical webinar, but all information is appropriate for all positions and experience levels for anyone involved with threaded fasteners.
Understanding Torque Wrenches is presented by Carmen Vertullo, owner and founder of Carver Labs.
