Getting torqued!
I think this should be a simple question about torque values. Here goes . . .
If a guy were to use a typical wrench (either box or open end) that is exactly 12 inches long from the centerline of the bolt or stud to the connection point of a scale and pulled on this scale exactly 1 pound - this would be one ft/lb or twelve in/lb of torque. Correct?
If this is correct, then a guy could divide the in/lb torque specification number by 12 and establish the ft/lb torque requirement. Yes?
I'm seeing more and more torque specifications given in inch-pounds for small engine repair. I don't have an inch-pound torque wrench. All I have is a foot-pound torque wrench and I'm concerned about the conversion process.
