Torque newsletters improves industry knowledge

Mountz newsletters provide torque tips, training tips, tool calibration guidelines, tool selection advice and updates to torque standards.

Mountz has released two new quarterly torque newsletters for educating resellers and engineers.

Most engineers never take a class on torque, as it's not part of the general curriculum in most college courses.

Instead, they learn on the job about torque control.

The two new educational newsletters provide torque tips, training tips, tool calibration guidelines, tool selection advice, updates to torque standards and application stories to help enhance their knowledge.

Torque control is more than simply taking a hand or power tool and tightening a fastener or bolt.

The Mountz newsletters will educate engineers and resellers on topics like "What is torque?", "How is torque measured?" and "Stresses induced into a bolt".

The failure of a three-cent fastener that isn't properly tightened can lead to catastrophic or latent failures.

Fasteners that are insufficiently torqued can vibrate loose and excessive torque can strip threaded fasteners.

Using a quality torque tool has become increasingly important for many companies to ensure that proper torque is being applied and maintains gauge requirements associated with the ISO9001 quality standard.

The Mountz newsletters also provide tips for using torque tools properly.

An operator using a torque tool should use it with a safe operating position and use it properly.

If a torque tool is operated incorrectly, inappropriately or unsafely, it can lead to serious damage and injury.

A torque tool is a precision torque control instrument and should be handled with care at all times.

In order to maintain accuracy, it is crucial that torque control measuring equipment be calibrated and service regularly.

The Mountz newsletters provide information and recommended guidelines for maintaining a torque tool.
