What's Difference Between Inch-Pound Torque and Feet-Pound Torque?

On 16 Oct 2006 10:31:35 -0700, penned the following well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats: Now, I am wondering if the pounds-rating of my torque wrench is in term of inch-pounds or feet-pounds. It doesn't say. Is this something supposed to be "understood" like "if it doesn't say, it must be feet-pounds"? No.... don't make that assumption. Good advice. In dentistry, we tighten implant abutments to 35 N-cm. 1 lb-ft equals 135.5818 N-cm. If I assumed lb-ft when the manufacturer said "tighten to 35", I'd wrench the patient's head off. Welcome back. Where have you been? |
