Q: Purchase Description paragraph 2.2 requires a +/- 0.25% accuracy. Is this accuracy needed by the Air Force? A: The Air Force has a growing inventory of electronic torque wrenches that are accurate to 1%. To meet a 4:1 TAR we are require a transducer with a +/- 0.25%. Q: Do you need the range listed from 5 in. oz. on the low end because of actual applications? A: The Air Force requires a system that calibrates Test Instruments (TI) down to 5 in-ozf. The Air Force plans to use this unit to calibrate a TI with a range starting at 5 in-ozf. The Air Force does not need a transducer with a Full Scale Value of 5 in-ozf. Currently the Air Force uses another system for below 5 in-ozf and is not a part of this procurement.
