Make your work easier by using mechanical tools

Those who deal with industrial products need to fix some tools and devices in daily lives, and of course, this engineering is mandatory in big industries. It is not possible just for human hands to do this without the help of any mechanical assistance. Mechanical tools and equipments are necessary to make your work easier and safety covered. There are two such equipments: the torque wrench and the tube removal equipments which are known as great contributors to a number of processes in the industries. Only the operators know how to manage these devices and what is their significance.

The Device : Torque Wrench and Tube Removal

A torque wrench is a tool which is used to apply a twisting force of a specific kind to a nut or a bolt. It is used when the tightness of screws or bolts is crucial, and the tool helps the operator to measure the force applied to fasten the same. The torque wrench, therefore, helps to maintain the needed tension in the specific parts enabling the operator to assemble it as well. The torque screwdrivers and wrenches have basically the same functions, purposes, and mechanisms. Torque wrenches are of types which are divided into classes. The types are indicating and setting torque wrenches which are divided into class A, B, C, D, E, F, G, etc. The torque wrench suppliers are available both online and offline. While buying torque wrenches from the suppliers, you must see if the product is ISO marked. ISO is an International organization for standardization which covers the construction of the torque wrench, and the calibration of the hand operated torque tools. The important advantages of this product are that they are accurate if they are properly calibrated. You can also use the cheater bars to extend the handle end of the wrench, but it is advisable not to use these extensions.

The tools for tube removal are a part of tube removal system which detaches tube without any damage to the tube sheet and in less time and labor. Tube removal tools can be divided into a number of types like air and hydraulic stub puller, continuous hydraulic tub pullers, master tugger hydraulic tube puller, auto-stub puller, manual tube puller, etc. It also comprises some other tube removal tools and cutters. They are easy to operate and quite effective when it comes to the performance.

Where to buy these devices?

You can opt for two ways if you want to purchase these devices. The first one is to buy them from regular shops and the second one is to buy them online. But in both ways, compare the prices of the products according to the brands and make sure that the tools are ISO marked. In the case of torque wrenches, they need to be properly calibrated for best usage. The products must conform to international quality and standards. If you are new in this field and want to buy it for personal used they go through the feedbacks and ratings on the internet.

Tips To Use a Torque Wrench

A torque wrench serves the purpose of applying accurate torque on the fasteners. Applying inaccurate torque can either result in imperfect fit or even damage the entire set up. This is a handy tool when you are working with high performance equipment, inspecting tolerances of nuts and bolts, automobile engine and other such parts. Extreme care has to be taken in the operation and maintenance of this tool.

When you have a torque wrench in your kit, have these tips in your head:

Usage:

• Irrespective of the type and magnitude of the hand tools, always protect your eyes by safety goggles while working with them.
• Each such tool is designed to work in a specific range. This helps you to decide the perfect tool for your application. Exceeding this limit can cause considerable damage to your device.
• Don’t use an accessory just because you have it. Stick to the type of accessories the manufacturers specifies.
• Take extreme care so that the tool doesn’t drop on hard surfaces. When you accidentally slip it off, recalibrate the tool before using it.
• While storing the click type wrench, adjust it to the minimum scale position.
• Use the device for the intended purpose. Remember that it is not the primary tool for loosening or tightening nuts or bolts.
• While handling the torque wrench place your hands on the centre of the tool to ensure better maneuvering. If you have to make use of both the hands, place one over the other.
• These tools are so designed that they send out signals like beeping or clicking after reaching specific torque. When the tool shows such indications, cease the operation.

Maintenance:

• Avoid exposing the wrench to extreme working conditions like intense pressure and high temperature.
• Study the torque wrench suppliers’ manual about the device. It helps you to get started and work effectively with the tool. Focus on the aspects like lubricants used, direction of operation, torque pattern, tight/release cycles and others.
• Every time you move out to work, check the tool for damages like cracks or worn out parts. Take immediate action, if you find something wrong with the tool.
• When left unused, there are chances that the tool can be corroded. Clean the tool after every use store in protective casings.

It is essential to know the types of torque wrenches before you choose one. The first aspect to be considered ion this aspect is the accuracy of the system. Make ensure that the tolerance doesn’t exceed 5%. Comparatively better ones have an accuracy of 2%. Focus largely on the quality aspects of the device rather than its fancy features. Never expect the device to perform well just because it has an LED readout. Prefer a well made and sturdily designed wrench. Ask yourself, “How often do you use this wrench?” The answer for this question lets you decide on the amount you can spend on the wrench.
