Common challenges in fastening torque
Believing tighter is always better, leading to over-torquing.
Ignoring lubrication effects, which can reduce the torque needed for the same clamping force.
Relying on uncalibrated hand tools, which can produce inconsistent res

Force Testing Instruments & Measurement Devices
Force testing is a way of determining how an object will react when it is subjected to tensile or compressive loads - either during its normal operation or when being pulled/pushed until it deliberately fails or breaks.
