Torque Wrench Extension Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Torque Setting (T₁) of an extended wrench is:

\[ T_1 = T_2 \cdot \left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right) \]

Where:

\( T_1 \) is the Torque Setting of the Wrench.
\( T_2 \) is the Torque Applied to the Nut.
\( L_1 \) is the Normal Length.
\( L_2 \) is the Extended Length.

What is a Torque Wrench Extension?

A torque wrench extension is defined as a wrench that has been extended past its normal length to achieve greater torques. This extension allows for more leverage, making it easier to apply higher torque values.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Torque Applied to the Nut (T₂): 50 Nm
Normal Length (L₁): 30 cm
Extended Length (L₂): 45 cm

Using the formula to calculate the Torque Setting:

\[ T_1 = 50 \cdot \left(\frac{30}{45}\right) = 33.33 \text{ Nm} \]

This means that the torque setting for this example is approximately 33.33 Nm.
