We want to calculate the pressure we apply to a piece of tube via a set of squeeze rolls. The rolls are in a vise like stand. Question; If I know the amount of pounds being applied to the the threaded rod (via torque wrench) can I then calculate the force being applied to the squeeze rolls...
I would like to know how many tons of pressure it would take to "strip" 1/2"-13 threads x 1-1/4 deep in 6061 aluminum. The bolt would be grade 5. Thanks in advance!!
