How to choose a torque gauge: Mark-10 and Hios compared

A digital torque gauge measures torque in the clockwise and counterclockwise direction. Depending on the test object, there are devices for components and samples, for torque tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches, or for closures.

DISA AG Sarnen supplies torque gauges and tool testers from Mark-10 and Hios and is the official European service center for Mark-10 products. This guide shows the criteria for your choice. You will find all devices in the category Torque meter.

Frequently asked questions

How do I test torque screwdrivers and wrenches?

With the Mark-10 TT02 series. It tests manual, electric and pneumatic torque screwdrivers, wrenches and other tools, has a 3/8″ square drive for common bits and attachments and is suitable for production environments.

How do I measure closure torque?

The TT01 series measures application and removal torque of bottle closures up to 11.5 Nm, with adjustable jaws for many container shapes. The portable TT03C tests cap closures without the closure having to be secured in a fixture.

Can I also use the gauge on a test stand?

Yes. The TT03 can be used handheld or mounted on a test stand. For tests on closures and fasteners, DISA offers the torque test benches TST and TSTM-DC from Mark-10.
