Norbar 43212 - Series 2 TORQUE SCREWDRIVER TESTER (TST), Range 0.04 - 2.00 N·m
The Norbar TST 2 Series 2 (43212) is a bench torque tester designed for checking torque screwdrivers and small torque wrenches across a range of 0.04–2 N·m. It offers ±0.5% system accuracy from 20% of capacity, BS 7882:2017 Class 1 classification over the primary range, and UKAS-accredited certification. Supplied by General Tech Services LLC, UAE, it is suitable for calibration laboratories, quality departments and precision assembly environments.

At very low torque levels, even small measurement errors can affect assembly quality. The Norbar TST 2 Series 2 helps verify delicate torque tools used in electronics, medical equipment assembly and other precision applications. Its bench-mounted design supports consistent testing, reliable readings and documented quality checks.
The tester covers 0.04–2 N·m through a 1/4" hex drive. Instrument accuracy is ±0.05%, increasing to ±0.1% below 10% of transducer capacity, while system accuracy is ±0.5% from 20% of capacity. It is classified to BS 7882:2017 Class 1 over the 20–100% primary range and Class 2 over the secondary range.
SMART transducer recognition automatically displays the capacity, unit and serial number when a compatible Norbar transducer is connected. Limit detection provides low, pass and fail indications against up to 12 targets, helping operators assess whether a tool meets its specified torque limits. An analogue output supports process-control applications.
The TST 2 Series 2 operates using its fast-charge internal battery or a 90–264 V AC supply. Password protection helps restrict access to settings, while the RS-232-C interface supports connection to a printer or PC for recording test results. The unit weighs 4.7 kg, is manufactured in the UK and includes a carrying case. Multiple transducer connections also allow compatible external Norbar transducers to extend its testing capabilities.
Documented torque checks can help calibration laboratories and quality teams demonstrate that tools were within their required limits at the time of testing. ISO 6789-1:2017 recommends recalibrating torque tools after 12 months or 5,000 cycles, whichever occurs first, and sooner following a drop or overload. A bench tester can support additional checks between scheduled calibration intervals.
For applications requiring a higher torque range, consider the Norbar TST 25 Series 2, which covers 1.2–25 N·m.

-
Maintain the testing schedule: Follow the applicable calibration procedures and check torque tools more frequently when required by usage, impact or overload history.
Frequently Asked Questions
What torque range does the Norbar TST 2 Series 2 cover?
It covers 0.04–2 N·m and uses a 1/4" hex drive.
How accurate is the TST 2 Series 2?
Its stated system accuracy is ±0.5% from 20% of capacity. Instrument accuracy is ±0.05%, or ±0.1% below 10% of transducer capacity.
Which standards does it meet?
It is classified to BS 7882:2017 Class 1 over the 20–100% primary range and Class 2 over the secondary range.
Can I connect the tester to a computer?
Yes. The RS-232-C interface supports connection to a compatible PC or printer for transferring or recording results.
Does it include a calibration certificate?
Yes. UKAS-accredited certification is specified for this product.
Can the tester use external transducers?
Yes. Compatible Norbar transducers can be connected to extend the range of tools that can be tested. Confirm transducer compatibility and the applicable measurement range before use.
Can it check clockwise and anti-clockwise torque tools?
Confirm the supported testing direction and calibration arrangements with the supplier before ordering, particularly when anti-clockwise testing is required.
Should I choose the TST 2 or TST 25 Series 2?
Choose the TST 2 Series 2 for tools within its 0.04–2 N·m range. Consider the TST 25 Series 2 if your testing requirements fall within its 1.2–25 N·m range.
How often should torque tools be recalibrated?
ISO 6789-1:2017 recommends recalibration after 12 months or 5,000 cycles, whichever comes first. Recalibration may be needed sooner after a drop or overload.
