Anonymous Poster #1	How to Calculate Torque from Pressure? 12/16/2011 10:02 AM
	I have a pressure point of 300Mpa that is about 5mm away from the center of a M5 bolt. How do I calculate the torque(x) for the M5 bolt? 300Mpa>>>>>>>>>>>>M5 Bolt(X)

	Disregard the 300Mpa force altogether.

	F = PA; then T = Fr, where F is perpendicular to r. [All in compatible units.] __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.

	The bolt torque is going to be part of a system, you must define all parts of the system, including working pressure range, temp, strength of materials being used etc etc... This video will give some idea... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yyFHv_rQC4 __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	Multiply by area (of pressure) & divide by length (of torque arm) __________________ Floss or die!
