Calibration Description Performance Specifications Test Method Torque indication Ranges : 12 to 20 lb-in and Compared to torque 60 to 600 lb-in generated by Class C Tolerance: ±(2% iv ± 1 digit), weights applied at a 10 to 20% fs, known distance from ±(0.25% fs or 1.0% iv, whichever the fulcrum is less ± 1 digit), 20 to 100% fs SECTION 2 EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS NOTE Minimum use specifications are the principal parameters required for performance of the calibration, and are included to assist in the selection of alternate equipment, which may be used at the discretion of the using laboratory. Satisfactory performance of alternate items shall be verified prior to use. All applicable equipment must bear evidence of current calibration. The instruments utilized in this procedure were selected from those known to be available at Navy calibration facilities, and the listing by make or model number carries no implication of preference, recommendation, or approval for use by other agencies. It is recognized that equivalent equipment produced by other manufacturers may be capable of equally satisfactory performance in this procedure. 1

H. Williams S-150A Local supply Local supply SECTION 3 PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS 3.1 Ensure that the TI is clean and that it is free from defects that would impair its operation. 3.2 Compute the NOMINAL VALUE, N, lb-in, at each calibration point listed in column 2 on the checklist, as applicable, to the TI Transducer system to be calibrated, according to the following equation : where N = Normal torque, lb-in, corrected for local gravity and actual wheel or lever arm radius gl = gs = r = local gravity, gals standard gravity, 980.665 gals effective radius of wheel or lever arm, in., from Report of Calibration m ~ mass of weight holder and applied weights 2
NOTES If the local gravity correction factor, gl/gs, is unknown, an approximate value can be determined from the graph in Appendix A. If gram weights are used to generate 10 pounds of force, convert the mass of the weights and weight holder (1600g) to lbs by multiplying by 0.0022046. For example, if gl = 980.445 gals, r = 2.8354 in. and m = 1600g, then N = (980.445 8 980.665). (2.8354.1600. 0.0022046)., or N = 9.992 lb-in. 3.3 Secure the TI Transducer being calibrated to a bench with two C-clamps (item 2.7). 3.4 Connect the TI Plug In Control Module to the Digital Readout Unit receptacle at the rear of the Unit. 3.5 Insert the Plug In Control Module into the slot at the rear of the TI Transducer. Ensure that the Module is fully engaged, tighten the thumb screw securely. 3.6 Set the TI Digital Unit Power Source Selector switch to BATT. NOTE Adequate battery power and proper functioning of the LED display is indicated by an initial display of 18888 for approximately two seconds, followed by an indication close to zero. The internal batteries may be charged by connecting the unit to an AC power source and setting the power switch to AC ; the green BATTERY STATUS light will go out when the TI is fully charged. 3.7 Set the TI Digital Unit Power Source Selector switch to OFF ; connect the AC power cord to a 115 V ac, 60 Hz power source. 3.8 Set the TI Digital Unit RANGE Code Selector switch to position B if calibrating the BT 120I-V, 10-120 lb-in Transducer or the BT-600I-V, 60-600 lb-in Transducer. Ensure that the Plug In Module IMPACT-NORMAL switch is set to NORMAL. 3.9 Mount the 10 inch level arm (p/o item 2.2) on the TI Transducer shaft, using the appropriate adapter (item 2.5 or 2.6). 3.10 Set the TI Digital Unit Mode Selector switch to ENTER-MEMORY and the Power Source Selector switch to A/C. NOTE Allow TI to thermally stabilize for at least 20 minutes. 3.11 Test the TI memory function as follows : 3.11.1 Apply a small amount of torque manually to the lever arm, activating the Digital Unit COMMAND switch momentarily to enter the applied torque in the TI CHANNEL 1 memory. 3.11.2 Set the Digital Unit Mode Selector switch to RECALL-MEMORY, then activate the lower COMMAND switch as often as required to recall the stored value in CHANNEL 1 and display it. 3
3.11.3 Ensure that the channel is cleared of the stored value when the red CLR button is depressed. 3.12 Adjust the TI Transducer system for zero and span as follows : 3.12.1 Set the Digital Unit Mode Selector switch to RUN. 3.12.2 Adjust the Plug In Module ZERO control to obtain a zero indication on the TI digital display. 3.12.3 Activate the Module Calibration Toggle switch ; adjust the SPAN control to obtain an indication on the TI digital display equal to the SPAN SETTING value, then release the Toggle switch. NOTE The SPAN SETTING value is printed on the MARK V Transducer. 3.13 Apply the weight holder (p/o item 2.2) and torque weights (item 2.3) to generate the torque equal to the full range of the Transducer being calibrated. Remove the weights. 3.14 Perform step 3.13 three more times, completing the TI Transducer exercises.
