What's Difference Between Inch-Pound Torque and Feet-Pound Torque?
"NOYB" wrote in message link.net... " JimH" not telling you @ pffftt.com wrote in message . .. "NOYB" wrote in message link.net... "Gene Kearns" wrote in message ... 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? Boating. Fishing. Working. Hawaii. Boating. Fishing. Working. Boating. Fishing. Working. With the vacation and all the boating and fishing when do you find time for work? ;-) How long were you in Hawaii and what islands did you visit? |

Is 60-inch-pound the same as 5-feet-pound (60/12=5)? YES -W Thanks for the confirmation. And this means that I have over-torqued the bolt by 12 times, and now two of the bolts have broken and I will need to remove the stud left in the hole -- oh well... Jay Chan |

Sounds like I'll have to go through my patient database, and start calling the Ohio snowbirds. They will be on their way pretty soon. |
