NO guessing, no I think...
I have a inch pound torque wrench and have foot pounds to tighten to. I was told by one person that 10 inch pounds equals 1 foot pound, but it seems that it would be 12 inch pounds to a foot pound, but I'm not interested in making a mistake.
What is the actual equivilency?

Also, is there a chart on this site that has info like this in it?

 

12 inch lbs equal 1 ft lb.

 

Chances are, if yours is like mine, there aren't enough inch pounds in the wrench to equate to the foot pounds you need it for. I bought mine at Sears - was the first torque wrench I ever owned. I didn't look close enough and got inch lbs, microtork, by mistake. I took it back and they swapped me for a 1/2" drive foot pound wrench.

 

NO guessing, no I think....
12 inch pounds = 1 ft. pound. Did I pass?

 

12 inch pounds equals 1 foot pound. 1 inch pound equals .0833333 foot pounds. I assure you, no guessing.

 

Yup. Common sense!

12 inches = 1 foot

Therefore, 12 inch-pounds = 1 foot-pound.

 

The guy that said 10 to 1 used to be a teacher, so I had to second guess what seemed like common sense. I figured it was 12 to 1, but I also stripped my primary plug by tightening to tight before, so I am being very careful this time around.
I have a foot pound torque wrench, an borrowed the inch one for doing other things with also.

Thanks

 

I made it real simple...I bought BOTH!

NO Guessing...no B.S.

 

12 inches to a feet.
so:

12 inch/pound to 1 feet/pound.

for metrics
39.37007 inches in 1 meter
0,456 pounds in 1 kg
therefore

86.34 inch/pounds to 1 Kg/m
7,2 feet/pounds to 1 Kg/m

 

And there is the fault with our education system
