Torque testing: Screwed together close to the application
We use this term to summarise various test methods that are used to measure or specifically apply torque and the rotation angle to screw connections.
The purpose of the test is usually to determine whether a certain torque meets the specifications. For example, a thread-forming screw must not exceed a defined limit torque for forming the mating thread. This ensures that the screw is easy to screw in the application and that sufficient clamp force is achieved.
Other applications include checking screws and nuts with a locking effect. Torque testing is used to ensure that an a bolted connection which is bonded by preapplied adhesives, for example, has a sufficiently high breakaway torque to prevent the screw from automatically loosening.
As with friction coefficient testing, it often makes sense to validate high-risk screw joints in addition to the standardised tests by means of application-related torque tests on components that represent the real screwing situation.
