The following are examples of orders of magnitude for torque.
Examples
edit| Order of magnitude | Value (SI units) | Value (imperial units) | Item |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10^1 | 1 N⋅m | 0.73 lb⋅ft | Torque when one end of a 1 m long moment arm is acted upon by a force of 1 N. |
| 10^2 | 108 N⋅m to 149 N⋅m | 80 lb⋅ft to 110 lb⋅ft | Torque to which most lug nuts are tightened.[1] |
| 10^2 | 881 N⋅m | 650 lb⋅ft | Torque at the crankshaft of a Dodge Charger SRT HellCat.[2] |
| 10^4 | 13,000 N⋅m | Example 2 MW wind turbine, generator side. [3] | |
| 10^6 | 1,300,000 N⋅m | Example 2 MW wind turbine, blade side. [3] | |
| 10^6 | 7,000,000 N⋅m | 5162935 lb⋅ft | Output torque of the Wärtsilä RT-flex96C,[4] the largest piston engine in the world. |
