# Torque Check - Residual Torque Measurement on Actual Joint

1. Make sure to use the same equipment, such as extensions, sockets and air pressure during the tightening, as will be used on the actual tightening application.

2. When performing a torque check on the actual joint we recommend using an ST Wrench with residual torque measurement* setting.

* Torque required to cause the threads of the fastener (including its head) on which torque is applied, to move relative to the mating thread.
