Tightening Torque - How do I measure this?

[niwde11]

marami dyan. sa may handyman(Robinsons) meron ako nakita. kakukuha ko pa lang yung sakin sa True Value(Shangrila) at aound 1thouplus. meron ding cheap for a little more than 500(i think). di ko pa nga sya nagagamit.

yup, pwede tantsahan.

Guilty din ako dito pero ginagawa ko lang ito sa MC ko (diesel ang cage ko kaya walang sparkplug). What I do to avoid over-torqueing is to hold the wrench in the middle of the handle.

I won't advice it though. Malakas lang ang loob ko sa MC ko kasi mura lang ang cylinder head at kaya kong palitan by myself in case masira ko.

I'm also planning to buy a torque wrench.

Have another question if you don't mind... when do i start measuring using a torque wrench? after hand tightening it? thanks again.

just use the t.w like a normal wrench then see the torque building up as you tighten the bolt. may needle indicator yun (the cheap version) that will deflect up to the actual torque being applied to the bolt.

pag nakita mo yung actual torque wrench, magegets mo kagad kung paano gamitin lalo na kung yung cheaper one. me dial sya na nakasulat kung ano na torque mo.

ano difference ng cheaper sa mga mas mahal? Ok na ba yung mga cheaper models? Exact ba yung measurement or may adjustment?

medyo simple yung cheap. me needle sya pointing sa amount of torque. pag tumama na sa torque desired, ok na. yung mas mahal, yun yung na seset ang torque at pag reach na yung desired torque, me madidinig kang "click". so hindi mo na dapat tingnan yung dial habang nagsisikip ka(mahirap to pag mataas yung torque). wait ka na lang ng click.

How much is the price difference? mmm... looks like shopping time again.

[niwde11]

twice, hehehe.

Iluvdetailing gawin mo style ko. Pagpihit ng rachet paglumabas ang isang ugat ko sa kamay, ok na. Pagdalawa ang lumabas, over torque ka na. Pa-calibrate mo nga lang ang ugat sa kamay mo.
