Proper Calibration and Use of Load Cells

Much of today’s repair and assembly work involves having the right tools, and many work sites such as factories or auto repair shops will have such tools on the job. While some labor today is automated, many jobs are best left in human hands, and these workers have simple tools on hand to make this possible. Load cells, for example, such as strain gaging cells or hydraulic cells can measure the exact weight of an item. In other cases, torque wrenches are necessary for tightening nuts and bolts, and many auto shop workers may use these tools during a hard day’s work. Of course, tools may sometimes become faulty or break down, and different ones work better for a given job. What is there to know about different loading cells and torque wrenches in use today?
