if you want to put 44 lbsf - ft of torque on a nut, the force on the lever (lbs) * the distance from the nut centre (feet) should = 44, any combination of force and lever length will do, as long as the product is 44
.
examples:
.
3 foot lever * ? (lbsf)= 44
44 / 3 = 14.67 lbsf
.
? foot lever * 15 lbsf = 44
44 / 15 = 2.93 foot lever
.
it doesnt matter where you hold the torque wrench though, you could add six feet of pipe to it, but if its set to 44 lbsf - ft, it will still click at the correct torque

What are the graduation on a torque wrench?
A torque wrench is a tool used to precisely apply a specific torque to a fastener such as a nut or bolt. It is usually in the form of a socket wrench with special internal mechanisms

How do you torque electrical wires?
With a torque wrench that displays inch-pounds. Not too often foot-pounds. Or tighten with wrench or screwdriver until snug. Then move wires back and forth and tighten until snug again.
Pounds to foot pounds?
Assuming the question refers to torque, then 1 ft-lb = 12 in-lbs. If you have a torque wrench reading inch-pounds, divide by 12 to get foot pounds. Conversely, multiply foot pounds by 12 to get inch pounds. If you want to get a little more technical, then read on. Torque quantifies force applied in a twisting action, such as tightening a bolt with a wrench. The longer the lever arm (distance the force is applied from the point of rotation) the greater the torque. This assumes the force is applied in a direction perpendicular to the lever arm, which is the normal case in practice. Formally, the definition of torque is force multiplied by distance, or force acting perpendicular to the lever arm multiplied by the length of the lever arm. If you are doing something like using a torque wrench on a car, you steady the connection of the wrench to the bolt or nut to make sure the force you are applying is perpendicular to the axis define by the length of the bolt. Then the reading on the torque wrench is an accurate measure of the torque applied to the nut or bolt.
What does lbf ie. tighten bolt to 30 lbf stand for when tightening a serpentine belt?
pounds of force Foot pounds or torque. Measured with a torque wrench.
What are the head torque specs for a Nissan Sentra 98 1.6 GXE?
54 to 74 inch pounds, not foot pounds. Use and inch pound torque wrench.
How do you torque a 1986 Toyota supra head?
If it has the hex bolts, find a hex wrench that is the right size, cut the wrench approx 2 inches long and find a socket that fits the hex. You can attach your torque wrench to the socket. Been there did that.
Impact wrench 250 pounds max torque won't budge Harm Balancer Bolt Any suggestions?
Borrow a bigger impact wrench, something with at least 500 ft lbs of torque.
What do you mean by torque in bikes?
Torque is a twisting force applied to an object, like a wheel or a crankshaft. Note that motion is not required for torque to exist! If you stand on a lug wrench that is on a frozen lug bolt, you are applying a torque to that bolt even though there may be no movement. For our purposes, we will consider that torque is measured in pounds-force feet (lbf-ft) meaning the equivalent of a given force, in pounds, acting on the end of a lever of length in feet. For example, standing with 180 pounds body weight on a lug wrench one foot long yields 180 lbf-ft of torque. A child of 90 pounds standing on a two-foot lug wrench applies the same torque.
How many turns of a rachet equals to 1lbs-ft?
Turns on a ratchet do not equate to foot pounds. The ratchet could be turning against very little force or a lot of force. Foot pounds is calculated in automotive mechanics by using a torque wrench.
Does loosening a bolt with a torque wrench hurt the torque wrench?
yes
