The length ofthe adapter is measured from the centerof the drive to the center of the wrench.In this example, the torque wrench measures 22 in. (55.9 cm) and the adapter is 3 in. (7.6 cm). Therequired torque is 19 lb-ft (25.8 N• m)EXAMPLE:=Correctedreading17 lb-ft (23.1 N• m)=Correctedreading19 lb-ft (25.8 N• m) ÷1.14=Correctedreading19 lb-ft (25.8 N• m) ÷25in.(63.5cm)22 in.
