Why is a calibration certificate important?
If the company you work with is an I.S.O. 9001-2008 company, calibration is an obligation within your I.S.O. system. A calibration certificate is very important for a company for traceability and safety purposes. To tight an ammonia reactor or a “critical path” flange in a nuclear Submarine, the right torque is important not only for the operator or the company but also for hundreds or thousands of people living around in the same area. A leak can generate catastrophic problems. ISO 9001-2008 recommends a verification of each dynamometric tool at least once a year. Rapid-Torc owns two laboratories to perform all calibrations and to generate certifications: The first one is located in Houston, Texas and the other one in Brussels, Belgium.
