Torque Application Flashcards
(11 cards)
Usage of torque
reduce fastener failures
insufficient torque tightening will cause
result in part movement in assembly
over tightening of torque
weakens fasteners
Torque formula
Torque = F * L
Torque - lb-in
F - Pounds
L - inches
from pound-in to pound-foot
divide pound-in by 12
should you lubricate nuts and bolts when torquing
no
pattern of tightening for 6 x 2 nut set up
9 5 1 3 7 11
10 6 2 4 8 12
torque value on wrench formula
Ti = (Ta * L)/(L + E)
L = length of lever E = extension length Ta = desired torque
add friction drag torque to desired torque recommended, T/F
True
do you use a torque wrench to loosen a bolt?
no
4 steps to carry out after using torque wrench
1) check calibration date
2) set torque value
3) set the torque wrench to min. value
4) update torque wrench traceability record
