RE: Screw Size for Hose Clamp

Think of the worm as a wedge wound into a circle.

Given: Torque= 35 in-lb.
Measure the pitch of the worm.
Measure the diameter of the worm.
Calculate the circumference of the worm.
Calculate the force on the worm in pounds.
Find the angle (Rise over run) for the pitch and the circumference.
Then Force*Tan angle= tension of the band.
