Torque Wrench Adapter Calculator
This calculator is for determining the torque wrench setting with an offset adapter.
When an adapter is offset from the square drive of a torque wrench, the torque
wrench setting should be calculated to account for the offset. This is because the
offset adds or subtracts from the length of the torque wrench to the fastener.
1. Enter angle A of the adapter from 0 to 180 degrees.*
2. Enter offset E, the distance from the center of the torque wrench square
drive to the center of the fastener in the adapter.**
3. Enter length L, the distance from the center of the torque wrench square
drive to the area of the handle that the torque wrench will be pulled from.**
4. Enter the torque D, the desired torque to be applied to the fastener.***
5. Click the Calculate button to get the torque to set the torque wrench to.
6. Click Reset to start over.

Set Torque Wrench To:
* 0 degrees is parallel to the torque wrench with the adapter pointing away from the handle, 180 degrees is parallel to the torque wrench with the adapter pointing toward the handle.
** Offset E and length L can be in inches or metric units as long as the same unit is used for both.
*** Torque D to be applied to the fastener can be any unit of torque. If Ft.Lbs. are entered, Ft.Lbs. will be returned as the torque wrench setting. If Nm is entered, Nm will be returned, etc.
Note: Calculating the torque when using an offset adapter, especially at an angle,
can have variables to consider beyond the scope of a general calculator like this.
Even though much effort has been made to made to ensure that this information is accurate,
it is the user's responsibility to verify that the provided information is correct before using it.
