3.2.3 Example No. 2 For the same flange, check the following combination: a) bolt makeup stress = 52.5 ksi, b) pressure = 8,000 psi, c) tension = 80,000 lb, d) moment = 15,000 ft-lb. Are the values of torque mentioned above, 15,000 ft-lb and 15,000 lb-ft, the same?
The unit of torque is force times length, namely kg-m.
