Torque Multiplication Conversion

1. Record the torque value to be obtained as A.

NOTE: When using a torque wrench adapter, the distance from the torque wrench drive to the adapter drive changes the actual torque value. Apply the following formula (A x B ÷ B - C = D) to obtain the correct torque value.







2. Measure the distance from the center of the torque wrench handgrip to the center of the torque wrench drive. Record this measurement as B.







3. Measure the distance from the center of the torque wrench adapter opening to the center of the torque wrench adapter drive. Record this measurement as C.







4. Example: multiply the torque value to be obtained A(120) by the length of the torque wrench B(12). Subtract the length of the torque wrench adapter C(2) from the length of the torque wrench B(12). Divide the product of A x B(1440) by the difference of B - C(10) to obtain the torque multiplication conversion D(144).
