    Converting torque applied to a bolt into the linear force exerted by the bolt

    Thankyou to everybody for the help. I think I'll have to perform some measurements of the applied force using a load cell or pressure sensitive film, and try to get a specific torque to force correlation for my specific situation.

    Converting torque applied to a bolt into the linear force exerted by the bolt

    Thanks for the responses. I don't need a super accurate measure of the force I'm exerting on my samples, I just need to know that I'm in the region of 30kN. I'll look into some pressure sensitive film as that sounds like the easiest option. Just to clarify in my mind, when referring to...

    Converting torque applied to a bolt into the linear force exerted by the bolt

    Hello all, I have an experiment set up where I need to compress some material using some G clamps. I have a torque wrench which I can use to tighten up the gclamp to a known torque but am having trouble converting this to the linear force that will actually be applied to the material...
