Best Answer

Torque is simply twisting force.

It is stated in the USA as Foot/Pounds

Simply a one foot lever with a 1 pound weight on the end will provide 1 foot pound of torque.

EG: A torque wrench measures the amount of force applied to a nut or bolt.

What is the importance of the dynamic torque?

The torque produced by the cars engine will be both static and dynamic, depending on where it is measured.If the torque is measured in the crankshaft, there will be large dynamic torque fluctuations as each cylinder fires and its piston rotates the crankshaft.If the torque is measured in the drive shaft it will be nearly static because the rotational inertia of the flywheel and transmission will dampen the dynamic torque produced by the engine.So the torque which fluctuates based upon the operating condition & other amplification factors, is called dynamic torque.Saurabh Solanki


Where can I apply to be a torque tester?

Torque tester is a type of transducer, specifically a torque transducer that converts a torque measurement (reaction, dynamic or rotary) into another physical variable, in this case, into an electrical signal that can be measured, converted and standardized.
