BS 7882:2017

This standard BS 7882:2017 Method for calibration and classification of torque measuring devices is classified in these ICS categories:

• 17.100 Measurement of force, weight and pressure

This British Standard specifies requirements for the calibration and classification of torque measuring devices, including those used for the calibration of torque tools.

It describes the method of calibration, calculation of calibration results and the classification of the torque measuring device in a static mode. The information to be given on the certificate of calibration is also listed.

Annex A provides diagrams of the application of torque, and examples for the calibration of torque measuring devices. Annex B indicates how to determine uncertainty of the calibration results of the torque measuring device.
