METHOD OF COMPENSATING FOR ADAPTERS OR EXTENSIONS ON AN ELECTRONIC TORQUE WRENCH

摘要

Abstract of the Disclosure The present disclosure relates to electronic torque tools that allow an offset length of an adapter or extension being used in conjunction with the tool to be input into the tools. The tools may also include an input for a head length, when the head of the tool is interchangeable. The 5 tools use the input(s) to calculate a correction factor. The correction factor is used to adjust the torque measurement of the tools so that the tools display the actual torque value without the need for re-calibration or the performance of external calculations.
