Torque wrench re-calibration

Same procedure as in

Torque wrench calibration - We Build Planes

Short arm length 13.8"

Long arm length 27.6"

Setting (in-lb) Short arm force (lb) Long arm force (lb) Torque (in-lb)

17.7 1.3 18

35.4 2.2 30

53.1 3.5 48

70.8 4.7 65

88.5 6.1 84

106.2 6.8 94

123.3 7.8 108

141.6 4.4 122

159.3 5.1 140

177.0 5.6 155

194.7 6.4 176

212.4 6.8 188

Results seem a bit low, but given the uncertainty in setting the balance zero point (with the arrangement), the discrepancies at the low end could be attributed to this. At the upper end the discrepancies are harder to account for. Since I torque AN bolts towards the upper and of the specified range, this should compensate somewhat for the setting error.
