ISO 1711-1:2016 specifies minimum values for Rockwell hardness and torsional strength for hand-operated wrenches and sockets.
It covers the following three series of torsion torques:
- Series A: usual box wrenches and socket wrenches;
EXAMPLE 1 Reference nos. 1 1 02 01 0; 1 1 02 02 0 and 1 1 02 02 1; 1 1 02 03 0; 1 1 02 04 0; 1 1 02 05 0; 1 1 02 06 0; 1 1 02 09 0; 1 1 02 10 0; 1 1 02 11 0; 1 1 02 12 0; 1 1 02 13 0 and 1 1 02 13 1; 1 1 02 14 0; 1 1 02 15 0; 1 1 08 01 0; 1 1 08 02 0.
- Series C: open end wrenches;
EXAMPLE 2 Reference nos. 1 1 01 01 0; 1 1 01 01 1; 1 1 01 02 0; 1 1 01 03 0; 1 1 01 04 0.
- Series E: hand-operated square drive sockets.
EXAMPLE 3 Reference nos. 2 1 02 01 0 and 2 1 02 01 1.
