Formula for Calculating the Effect of Torque Wrench Extensions

M2 = M1x
L2
L1

where L1 in the normal length and L2 is the extended length, M1 is the set torque and M2 the actual torque applied to the nut.

eg. L1=500 L2=650 so
M2=100x 650 =130Nòm
500







Torque Conversion Scale




I can't paste the drawing and scale, so you'll have to access the site:
