NF ISO 5393
Rotary tools for threaded fasteners - Performance test method
ISO 5393:2017 specifies a laboratory performance test method for power assembly tools (referred throughout the document as "tool") for installing threaded fasteners.ISO 5393:2017 provides a method for the measurement of torque repeatability (scatter)- over a range of torque rates as specified in this document,- over a range of torque adjustment as defined by the manufacturer, and- over a number of operating cycles as defined by the manufacturer.ISO 5393:2017 provides a method for the measurement of the precision of the built-in torque measurement system for tools incorporating such a feature. See Annex E.ISO 5393:2017 gives instructions on equipment parameters, what to test for and how to evaluate and present the test data.ISO 5393:2017 is applicable to tools- of any power source, e.g. pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric, including battery-powered,- which apply torque in a generally continuous manner, and- within the torque range 0,5 Nm to 2 000 Nm. Outside this range, it is acceptable to modify the test method providing that the modification is documented in the test report.ISO 5393:2017 is not applicable to- impact or impulse wrenches,- ratchet wrenches or wrenches with ratcheting clutches, and- other tools which advance fasteners in discontinuous increments, overcoming static friction at each increment.ISO 5393:2017 allows a test to be performed at any test torque level; however, in order to minimize the number of test joints necessary for a wide range of test torque levels, a list of preferred test torque levels is provided in Annex A.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
