SDR

AREA = (O.D. - t) x t x 

FORCE = AREA x IFP
REQUIRED FORCE = (O.D. - t) × t × 

 × IFP + DRAG 

Example

Pipe Size = 4" SDR 11
O.D. of Pipe = 4.5"
SDR of Pipe = 11
Recommended Interfacial Pressure = 75 PSI
Using a Model Pit Bull 14 Fusion Unit
  

O.D.  4.5

t = -------------  = --------------- = 0.409

 SDR  11
REQUIRED FORCE = (O.D. - t) × t × 

 × IFP + DRAG 

 

REQUIRED FORCE = (4.5 - .409) × .409 × 



 × 75 + DRAG = 394 + DRAG     

From Table:

30 ft/lbs of Torque = 330 lbs Force
and 40 ft/lbs of Torque = 435 lbs Force
Interpolating between these two values give approximately 36 ft/ lbs Torque.
FUSION FORCE = 36 ft/lbs + Drag (measured in ft/lbs)

These tables are only valid when using 

the appropriate torque wrench and 

adapter. A 1/2" drive, 15.0" torque 

wrench with the torque wrench adapter 

(Part # 410802) or a 3/8" drive, 

13.625" torque wrench with torque 

wrench adapter (Part # 713901). Using 

a torque wrench of a different length will 

result in different forces from the torque 

reading.
