Torque Application Flashcards
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
