nur_agus_ipftiuii Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Can anybody tell me how strong our hand can tighten a screw(in Pascal)? Thank you very much and sorry for my English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPQuiceno Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hmmm... Im guessing that it depends on the material that the screw is being screwed into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d22k Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 and the strength of the hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzurePhoenix Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 not to mention the type of screw itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DQW Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 On something like a 1/4"-20 screw, you can generate of order an inch-pound of torque (converts to about 0.12 Nm, I think). Pascal is the wrong unit for expressing a torque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonBlack Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 the screwdriver is a big factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nur_agus_ipftiuii Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 I am really sorry for my unclear question. We are not using any screwdriver to tighten it. And it is a small wing screw. About 3 cm wingspan. Thank you very much for your concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiohead Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I have tightened one of those pretty tight before. Also, what kind of material are we screwing it into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2SO4 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 its a wing screw? Do you mean a wingnut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nur_agus_ipftiuii Posted July 26, 2005 Author Share Posted July 26, 2005 All is steel. The screw is steel, and also its bolt. And, yes. it is wingnut. Thanks all. And sorry for my English Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sorry for my English[/quote'] Tighten it until it is snug, then a half-turn more. Tightening it further than that weakens the threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
