TM 9-2320-361-24-2 0472 00 TORQUE LIMITS (Contd) 0472 00-7/8 blank CONVERSION FORMULA Correct dial or scale readings are determined by the use of the following formula: Correct = Required ÷ Length of torque wrenc h + Length of adapter Reading torque value Length of torque wrench NOTE The length of the torque wrench is measured from the center of the handle to the center of the drive. The length of the adapter is measured from the center of the drive to the center of the wrench In this example, the torque wrench measures 22 in. (55.9 cm) and the adapter is 3 in. (7.6 cm). The required torque is 19 lb-ft (25.8 N•m). Correct Reading = 19 lb-ft (25.8 N•m) ÷ 22 in. (55.9 cm) +3 in. 22 in. (55.9 cm) Correct Reading = 19 lb-ft (25.8 N•m) ÷ 25 in. (63.5 cm) 22 in. (55.9 cm) Correct Reading = 19 lb-ft (25.8 N•m) ÷ 1.14 Correct Reading = 17 lb-ft (23.0 N•m) END OF WORK PACKAGE
