The longer the extention the more torque loss.
Lets all pray the world dosen't end over this! |

THE BASICS OF TORQUE
Torque is the twisting movement which pro-duces rotation about an axis. It is the product of force(F) times the distance(D) from the axis of rotation to the point where the force(F) is applied.
Torque(T) = Force(F) X Distance(D)
If (D)is measured in inches and (F) in pounds(lbs.), (T) is expressed in inch-pounds(in.lbs.).
If (D) is measured in feet and (F) in pounds(lbs.), (T) is expressed in foot-pounds(ft.lbs.).
If (D) is measured in meters and (F) in Newtons(N), (T) is expressed in Newton-Meters(N-m).
Force(F) on the wrench handle in the direction to tighten(torque) will produce clockwise(unless left handed thread) torque(T) on the bolt/nut. To produce a given amount of torque, more force must be applied as the distance from the bolt/nut is reduced. |

Jos,
I always learn a LOT more being wrong.
For a really fun brain stretching exercise, try to figure what happens to bolt load in a tension connection as the connection is loaded in tension, meaning if you have a tension connection, like for instance a bolted pipe flange connection, and you torque the bolts/nuts to preload them, then you pull on the pipes to put the bolted joint in tenstion, what happens to the tension load in the bolts and by how much?
Here's a pic to help illustrate what I'm asking...

Ok, I'll bite.
The bolt tension is 1500 lbs.
The clamping force is 500 lbs. |

Bolt Tension: 1K lbs.
Clamping Force: 1K lbs. |

bolt 1000
clamp 0
and my head hurts... that was way back
something about bolts should be seen as springs, |
