How to Calculate the Angle Correction

When a wrench extension is used, the Angle Correction allows linear compensation of the extension torsion based on the torque applied. The correction value is expressed in degrees at the smartHEAD Max torque.

Create and configure an inspection with the following values:
- Cycle start = smartHEAD Min torque value (usually 5% of smartHEAD Max torque).
- Final angle monitoring torque = Cycle start
- Target torque = 75% of smartHEAD Max torque
Perform three tightenings at 75% of the smartHEAD Max torque.
For each torque and angle value measured, perform the following calculation:

Angle correction = Angle measured x (smartHEAD Max torque - smartHEAD Min torque) / (Torque measured - smartHEAD Min torque)
Make sure the minimum and maximum angle values calculated do not differ by more than 10% of the maximum value calculated:

Angle correction_max - Angle correction_min ≤ Angle correction_max / 10

If they differ by more than 10%, repeat the procedure from the beginning.
Average the three angle values calculated to obtain the Angle correction.

When a torque multiplier is used on the STRwrench, the Angle correction value must be left to zero; in this case the STRwrench cannot compensate the angle measurement.
