a. Verify TI is clean and free from defects that would impair its operation.
b. Allow equipment to stabilize to ambient temperature.
c. Prepare a
worksheet similar to
table 3 (table 3 may be
reproduced for this
purpose).
Calculate torque for cardinal points listed in table 4 for each TI. Use CALCULATED
NOTE
If the arm lengths are correct to: (.02-in. for 40-in. arm); (.005-
in. for 10-in. arm); and (.0015-in. for 2.5-in. arm); then nominal
values may be used for length and the equation becomes:
T = Nominal length x weight corrected for local gravity.
d. Enter
actual weight, calculated torque, and
tolerances on
worksheet.
