Ft-Lbs is a measurement of torque. Torque is "twisting" force.
Ft-Lbs is measured as follows: Imagine a 1 ft bar attached at some center point. The bar is horizontal and a 100 lb weight is attached to the bar at one foot from the center point. That would be the very definition of 100 ft-lb of torque. Of course for this to be accurate you'd have to account for the weight of the bar. In this instance 100 ft pounds of torque would mean that a 100 pound weight was used instead. You could also use a 100 ft bar and ONE pound weight, the theoretical results would be identical.
Inch pounds are very similar, only the bar would be one inch long. To calculate 100 inch pounds you'd have a bar that was 1 inch long, at the horizontal and hang a 100 pound weight. For all practical purposes 100 inch pounds would be 1/12 of the torque represented by 100 Ft pounds.
In other words, there are 12 inch lbs, in one ft. lb.
An easy way to think of it is based on the unit of measure. Whether you are working with Ft-Lbs or In-Lbs or even in Metric using N-M (Newton-Meters) doesn't matter.
If you were to express Ft-Lbs as "Pounds per Foot" or In-Lbs as "Pounds per Inch", or in metric "Newtons of force per Meter" it may be easier to understand.
For conversion purposes, there are 12 inches in a foot, so "one foot pound" would equal "Twelve Inch Pounds". In other words, it takes "12 pounds of force on a one inch long bar" to equal the twisting force of "One pound of force on a one foot (12 inch) long bar"
There is no difference. It is (force x distance) or (distance x force). It is usual to express torque and moment of a force in pounds-feet and work done in foot-pounds but it is not mandatory.
Torque wrenches can be purchased at any hardware store like Home Hardware or Canadian Tire. Torque wrenches can also be found at big box stores that sell tools like Sears.
Yes, there are inch/pound torque wrenches.
Torque them to 35 pounds. then after it has run and cooled off torque them again. You can rent torque wrenches from some parts stores
Hydraulic pressure has nothing to do with torque wrenches.
The socket wrench is one among the system of wrenches that departs the wrench handle from the wrench that engages the fastener. Whereas, the torque wrench are the torque indicating socket wrench handle. When it is used properly, that could help you calculate the torque amount while fastening using the wrench. It also limits the amount of torque which is applied on material.
More explanation needed.
One difference between dynamic torque and static torque is the level of difficulty to measure. Static torque is each to measure, while dynamic torque is not. This is because it requires a transfer of an electric or magnetic effect.
The harmonic balancer torque specifications are different in each type of engine. The general torque specification is between 120 pounds and 180 pounds.
Tighten the drain plug using a two-finger rule till it feels snug(drain plug requires less torque [15 - 25 ft. lbs] than many torque wrenches can be set to, many begin at 25-30ftlbs)so best to NOT use a torque wrenchhowever, if you have a smaller torque wrench , I found this information elsewhere"For the 4.0L six-cylinder, torque the drain plug to 18 foot-pounds of torque. For the 4.6L eight-cylinder, use 19 foot-pounds of torque."
anywhere from 85 pounds torque to 90 pounds torque will work, but factory is 87 pounds torque. personnally, i set mine at 100 pounds torque
speed= distance per seconds & torque= revolution per seconds
