4.3.4 Measuring tools according to ISO 5393
ACTA supports capability studies of direct driven tools according to the ISO 5393 standard performance
test method for threaded fasteners. It is valid for tools which apply torque continuously. It is not applicable
for tools that advance fasteners in discontinuous increments where the static friction of the joint is
overcome at each increment. Examples of tools excluded from this standard, are impact wrenches, ratchet
wrenches and wrenches with ratcheting clutches, pulse tools.
The study is performed on test joints having controlled torque rates, one joint with high torque rate and
one joint with low torque rate. The torque rate range must correspond to the torque rate range found in
actual applications encountered by the tool. This is important for the test to yield a satisfactory evaluation
of the tool performance in its working conditions. For details and technical specifications on the test joints,
contact the International Organization of Standardization (ISO).
