Torque dimension Hi, is there a difference between "foot/pounds" and "foot/lbs"? I'm irritated.
Thanks in advance! |

Re: Torque dimension Just to make it more confusing,
Some folks, like me, just say #, lbs or pounds The real term is pound/feet This language is strange isn't it. |
Re: Torque dimension Then you have inch pounds that read 1/12th of foot pounds. :)
Metric people think Americans are crazy... |
Re: Torque dimension Engineers refer to Torque = Force x Distance = Lbs-Ft. Expressing it as Ft-Lbs makes no difference in the magnitude of the number. In Europe, it is Newton-Meters.

Re: Torque dimension Not that it makes any difference with a Model A , they don't care.
Torque as in fasteners is pound/feet or Newton/meters. In other words force first. Torque as in engine output is foot/pounds. About as clear as mud. One deals with rotation while the other is linear. Pretty much all one cares about is the number/# they have the set the wrench to. |
Re: Torque dimension Made me look. Lb is abbreviation for Latin libra, meaning "balance" or "scales". Libra pondo = a pound by weight. Google is your friend. :)
