ASTM International has over 11,000 testing standards. It is made up of committee members from the industry, government, and universities. ASTM Subcommittee E28.01 on Calibration of Mechanical Testing Machines and Apparatus has started development of a Standard Practice for the calibration of torque indicating devices used as reference standards when verifying the torque indication of testing machines. This paper concentrates on that effort and discusses the process from conception through the drafting process to the development of the working document. A round robin testing program involving a number of torque transducer manufacturers and providers of torque calibration services was initiated and some results are presented in this paper. |
