When referring to the applicable torque charts, use values as
close as possible to the torque values shown to allow for
wrench calibration tolerance.
TORQUE WRENCHES
Flexible beam type wrenches, even though they might have
a pre-set feature, must be pulled at right angle and the force
must be applied at the center of the handle. Force value
readings must be made while the tool is in motion. Rigid
handle type, with torque limiting devices that can be pre-set
to required values, eliminate dial readings and provide more
reliable, less variable readings.
NOTE:
If multipliers and/or special tools are used to reach
hard to get at areas, ensure torque readings are
accurate.
Torque wrenches are precision instruments and must be
handled with care. To ensure accuracy, calibrations must be
made on a scheduled basis. Whenever there is a possibility
that a torque wrench may have been either overstressed or
damaged, it should immediately be removed from service
until recalibrated. When using a torque wrench, any erratic or
jerking motion can result in the application of excessive or
improper torque. ALWAYS use a slow, even movement and
STOP when the predetermined value has been reached.
When using step wrenches, calculated wrench settings are
valid only when the following conditions are met:
•
Torque wrenches must be those specified and forces
must be applied at the handle grip. The use of handle
extensions will change applied torque to the bolt.
•
All handles must be parallel to the step wrench during
final tightening. Multiplier reaction bars may be
misaligned no more than 30 degrees without causing
serious error in torque.
•
Multiplier bar handles must be propped or supported
within the outer 1/4 of the handle length, or serious
under or over tightening will occur.
To convert pounds-foot (lb-ft) of torque to Newton meters
(Nm), multiply the pounds-foot quantity by 1.3558.
To convert pounds-inch (lb-in) of torque to Newton meters
(Nm), multiply the pounds-inch quantity by 0.11298.
