[LankyWill]

My elbow is out of calibration and i would like to use a torque screwdriver instead, its something ive been putting off but i have finally caved.

How do you check calibration of a torque driver? Tape measure and a known weight?

Visited Th Orange Shed this morning, Ed China is advertising something that is "better than WD40" was tempted, but it's not a tool so I didn't bother.

You can get torque calibrators. They used to be calibrated springs with a dial indicator I believe. Nowadays they are more likely to be load cells and digital displays.

As far as I know you clamp them to a fixed surface, attached the torque driver set to a specific torque setting and then turn it to check the mechanisms breaks at the specified torque.

One would assume they test at several points across the range of adjustment and possibly generate a torque curve for the tool.

interesting! so who calibrates the calibrator machine?
they must eventually pop to France and try them on the IPK - no kidding they have an official Kilogram weight under glass domes, and if that's lost we don't know what a KG is any more: BIPM - IPK - https://www.bipm.org/en/bipm/mass/ipk/

Tescos, or other supermarkets, especially when they have special offers on them.
