Torque Units
The chart displays various torque units, including foot-pounds (ft-lb), inch-pounds (in-lb), and Newton-meters (Nm).
How to Use the Chart
To use the chart effectively, locate your torque value in one unit, such as 50 ft-lb. Then, find the corresponding value in the desired unit, like 67.8 Nm.
This method ensures accurate torque application across different measurement systems, which is helpful for maintaining the integrity of mechanical assemblies.
Conversion Examples
The chart includes specific conversion examples, illustrating how to translate common torque values between units.
For instance, a torque setting of 100 ft-lb converts to approximately 135 Nm.
FAQ
Torque measures rotational force, while horsepower measures the rate at which work is done. Torque provides the force needed for acceleration, and horsepower relates to speed.
Torque measurements can be converted using a conversion chart or by applying the formula: multiply foot-pounds by 1.35582 to get Newton-meters.
The correct torque for lug nuts typically ranges from 80 to 100 ft-lb, depending on the vehicle model.
Overtightening bolts can lead to stripped threads, damaged components, or even broken bolts, compromising the integrity of the assembly.
Common torque for engine head bolts typically ranges from 60 to 80 ft-lb, but always refer to the specific engine manual for accurate values.
Torque (T) is calculated as the product of force (F) and length (L), represented as T = F × L. For conversions, you can use 2F × L/2 to adjust force and length while maintaining the same torque.
