A relatively simple device is described which provides the capability for remote comparison of torque wrenches over a limited range. The device, properly used, provides calibration capability for most inch-pound and foot-pound range torque wrenches. For purposes of this discussion, the device itself was developed specifically for adapting an existing torque measuring system with torque wrenches in a hostile eenvironment. A gloved access port is utilized to manipulate the fixture, while a viewing window and mirror are used to make visual comparisons. Click-type wrenches do not require use of the mirror.
