STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

SUBJECT :                                             OPERATION  AND INTERNAL CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR MULTITECH DIGITAL TORQUE TESTER

DEPARTMENT           : QA SOP NO.                      : Page No                       : Effective Date             : Next Review                : SOP REVISION           :

             

1.0       OBJECTIVE:

To provide guidelines for an operation, maintenance & calibration procedure for Multitech Digital Torque Tester.

2.0        POLICY:  

To establish a procedure for an operation, maintenance & calibration procedure for Multitech Digital Torque Tester.

                                      

3.0       PROCEDURE: 

3.1       Switch ON power supply button on the left side, display PEAK & PRST.

3.2       Press button E for making PRST reading Zero.

3.3       Press the button R for making PEAK readings Zero.

           

3.4       Both readings must be zero before testing torque.

3.5       Press button M for selecting units. Always select desired unit by pressing M and don’t press M after peak is noted.

3.6       Rotate knob adjust such that bottle can be held easily. There will be some deflection in display reading while holding bottle.

3.7       Press buttons E and R for making PRST and PEAK readings zero.

3.8       Gently rotate cap anti-clockwise till it becomes loose or just breaking tamper ring. A peak reading will display. Note this reading, this is removal torque. Check if it is within standard range. 

3.9       For testing next bottle follow 3.1 to 3.8. On completion of testing switch off the power.

3.10     Calibration is done by the following procedure.

 3.11    Press menu hold and switch on Torque Tester. It displays TORQUE, CALIBRATION, then press Enter screen displays TORQUE, CALIBRATION, ZERO.

3.12     Then press Enter screen displays TORQUE, LOAD and then press Enter screen displays TORQUE, LOAD, 000.00.

3.13     Hang load of 1 KG and set torque as following, press vertical arrow till you see 000.01, then press horizontal arrow till you see 000.10.

3.14     Press vertical arrow till you see 000.11, press horizontal arrow till you see 001.10, press horizontal arrow till you see 11.00.  

3.15     Then press Enter screen displays TORQUE, CALIBRATION, OK. Then press Enter screen displays TORQUE, RESET and then press Enter.

3.16     Remove load of 1 Kg then press E & R to make PRST & PEAK readings zero.

3.17     Now apply standard Torque by hanging 1 Kg standard weight.

            Hanging 1 Kg weight = Torque of 11.0 Kgcm

            Hanging 2 Kg weight = Torque of 22.0 Kgcm

                       

4.0       FREQUENCY: As and when required.

5.0       RESPONSIBILITY: QA Executive.
