Norbar Torque Tools Ltd has added a wealth of technical background information to its latest products and services catalogue, making it even more useful to engineers. As well as a comprehensive listing, it includes informative discussions of torque and its measurement, and the importance of calibration.

Lavishly illustrated with photos and cutaway diagrams of tools and equipment, the full colour publication is intended for both distributors and end users, and is worthy of a space on any engineer’s bookshelf. Its opening pages include sections that describe in detail the theory of torque and its relationship to bolt tension and friction.

Even the product pages of the catalogue feature the same sumptuous attention to detail, with exploded drawings of torque tools and clear explanations of the advantages of each type of tool, so engineers can choose the right tool for the job. Norbar has included photographs of the products in typical applications.

Norbar also offers a worldwide service, repair and calibration service, described in detail in the Global Service section. There are complete contact details for the firm’s operations in the UK, Australia, the US, New Zealand and Singapore.

A fold-out flap ensures that the reader always has a torque-conversion chart to hand, and an introductory section covers Norbar’s 62 years of experience in the torque tools business. Norbar was the first company in the UK to commercially manufacture a torque wrench.

The new catalogue, which brings together four earlier publications, also includes details of two new ranges from Norbar: the harsh environment range of torque measurement products rated to IP65/67 and designed for use in the offshore and power generation industries, and the TWL1500 torque wrench loader, for cost-effective calibration and testing of wrenches rated between 1 and 1,500 N.m.
