Pressure to Torque Conversion:
From: | To: |
Pressure and torque are different physical quantities that cannot be directly converted without additional parameters. Pressure (measured in bar) is force per unit area, while torque (measured in Nm) is a rotational force.
To convert pressure to torque, you typically need:
Where:
Limitations: Direct pressure to torque conversion is not possible without knowing the specific system parameters, volume, and mechanical configuration.
Note: This calculator demonstrates that pressure cannot be directly converted to torque. Additional system-specific parameters are required for any meaningful conversion.
Q1: Can I convert 200 bar directly to Nm?
A: No, pressure and torque are different physical quantities that require additional parameters for conversion.
Q2: What information do I need for conversion?
A: You need system volume, piston area, mechanical advantage, or other system-specific parameters.
Q3: Why is direct conversion not possible?
A: Bar measures pressure (force/area) while Nm measures torque (force × distance) - they measure different physical phenomena.
Q4: Are there standard conversion factors?
A: No, conversion factors depend entirely on the specific hydraulic or pneumatic system configuration.
Q5: When can pressure be related to torque?
A: Only in specific mechanical systems where pressure acts through a known volume or area at a known distance from a pivot point.
