About this deal

Now, while trying out the same extension but this time without the chair as the brace, it to no surprise, again lost some torque, averaging out at 33.5 ft-lb representing a 3.74% loss from the baseline. All these attempts were made from completely different angles, intentionally. The inconsistency of the outcome validates the hypothesis. What Causes Torque Loss? Finally, testing out with an 88-inch extension, the results came out as 9.29% torque loss without the brace and 5.72% loss with the brace. The numbers were not exactly the ones that were expected because the torque loss was rather a little less than the 64-inch extension, but the pattern was somewhat upheld, we could say. Desired Torque? Well, you know that—it’s the torque you want to be ultimately applied to the fastener.

It was time for a 38-inch extension and it averaged out at 35.1 ft-lb, which actually is a 0.86% increase in torque from the baseline. You just need to know the actual length of the wrench and the extension. That’s it. That’s the apparently obscure part, I suppose. At this point, a pattern had been found that as the extension length kept increasing, the torque loss was higher (without the brace). To see if the pattern was valid or not, things were stretched out even further. Even though many people don’t do this and are aware of the science behind it, many don’t. Some people are just comfortable holding a wrench at the very bottom of it, and they do the same for a torque wrench as well.According to physics, if you keep the extension perfectly perpendicular to the body of the wrench, there should be no torque loss—and that’s actually the case, as seen on many tests. When similar tests were carried out, ensuring the conditions were met, there was no real torque loss.

So to settle things, yes, you can use an extension with a torque wrench without losing on torque and keeping the purpose intact as long as you can keep it perpendicular (or as close as possible) to the body of the wrench. Adjusting for The Extension

You have a wrench with a length of 24 inches and you have to put an extension of 4 inches on it to reach where you intend to. The recommended torque setting for the fastener is 180 lbs. What torque setting do you set the wrench on for a smooth sail?

Just a little heads up, make sure you measure the length of the wrench and extension correctly. A couple of centimeters here and there won’t matter much, but don’t miss your mark by inches. When you just measure the length of the wrench and the extension, the equation becomes much easier to comprehend.So, what caused the torque loss? According to physics, it’s impossible. So were Newton, Einstein, Galileo, and all the other great physicists, wrong? Instead of talking in terms of theory, I’d like to summarize the results of an extensive test on this matter, which will answer the question in a more solid manner.
