Hammer style is not a type of torque wrench. Torque wrenches are typically beam, clicker, or dial types.

Question 2

Technician A states that when torquing a bolt, the torque value will be specified in foot-pounds (lb-ft), inch-pounds (in-lb), or Newton meters (Nm). Technician B states that the torque value is the amount of up and down force applied to a fastener by the torque wrench. Who is correct?
A) Technician A
B) Technician B
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because torque values are indeed specified in units such as foot-pounds, inch-pounds, or Newton meters. Technician B's statement is incorrect because torque is a measure of rotational force, not up and down force.

Question 3

A torque wrench is also known as a:
A) tension wrench.
B) torque limiter.
C) tightness gauge.
D) torque stick.

Accepted Answer

The answer of A torque wrench is also known as...

Question 4

Technician A says that torque wrenches need to be calibrated periodically to ensure proper torque values. Technician B says that when using a clicker-style torque wrench, keep turning the torque wrench 1/8 - 1/4 turn to make sure the bolt is properly tightened. Who is correct?
A) Tech A
B) Tech B
C) Both A and B
D) Neither A nor B

Accepted Answer

Torque wrenches need to be calibrated periodically to ensure accuracy. Technician B is incorrect because once a clicker-style torque wrench clicks, the desired torque has been reached, and further turning can over-tighten the bolt.
