Admin Jaap Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 I've noticed we sometimes have problems with US units vs. European ISO units. I found a freeware program that converts every thinkable unit to ISO or vice versa. The online version is here: Versaverter Online The downloadable version (2Mb) is found here: Versaverter (self extractable file-Windows only) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrt Posted December 20, 2003 Share Posted December 20, 2003 Hi Jaap, Thats a great idea- for those of us who use macs, a great freeware program is balancepro http://www.macdev.ca/macos/Freeware.html For OS X. Did I mention it was free? cheers, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest captain nemo Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Thanks Jaap. Since the manual is in metric, (and since you are the host of the forum), it would probably be good form for the rest of us to use metric. I'd like to start thinking in those terms anyway because a lot of what I read is in metric measure. Metric makes sense anyway and what we use does not. By the way, the web site is really moving slowly tonight. (just for your info if there is some problem) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't get on the forum at all last night. My guess is there was a server problem, because my email and FTP didn't work too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metric makes sense anyway and what we use does not. To be honest, Captain, you were the cause of me looking fot this software. I read "pounds per inch" in one of your posts. I thought that was too difficult to calculate to Nm so I started Googling for some freeware. So thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest captain nemo Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Yea, we measure torque in 'foot pounds' and 'seventy foot pounds of torque' is meaningful to any American biker. But I don't even know what Nm stands for - Newton meters? I'll get the hang of it in time. I knew I had caused your concern with this funny talk.....

emry Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 If I recall seventy foot pound is equal to "pretty darn tight." or If I recall ninty four newton meters is equal to "pretty darn tight." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emry Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 Convert This is the one I have used for a ahwile. This site is dedicated to computer calc's, I have also used Calc98 with a good degree of satisfaction. Sure beats that Windows piece of junk.
