Failure due to torque
Failure due to torque
(OP)
How would I go about finding the max torque that can be applied to 2 jack screws to free up a stuck acrylic plug without causing the flange on the plug to fail?

RE: Failure due to torque
Well it might help if you show us where you intend to apply the jack screws and the material strength of the material you are dealing with. A sketch would help enormously showing where this thing is actually stuck.

RE: Failure due to torque
You need to consider the weight that is supported by this flange + acrylic product weight, lets call it W. The you need to overcome frictional force = coefficient of friction between the acrylic produce and surface of part on which it sits*W to move it. Based on this you can calculate the torque=force*distance up to screw from center if torque applied at center and not on the screws.
