Bolt Torque API
Bolt and fastener torque maths as an API, using the standard short-form relation T = K · D · F — torque equals the nut factor times the bolt diameter times the clamp load (preload). The torque endpoint computes the tightening torque, in newton-metres, foot-pounds, inch-pounds and kilogram-force metres, from the bolt diameter, the target clamp load and a nut factor — given directly or chosen from a condition preset (dry, lubricated, zinc-plated, galvanized, waxed and more). The preload endpoint solves the inverse: the clamp load a given torque produces on a bolt of a given diameter and friction. The convert endpoint converts a torque value between newton-metres, foot-pounds, inch-pounds and kilogram-force metres. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. The K·D·F short form is an estimate that depends heavily on friction — it is engineering guidance only, so always follow the manufacturer's torque specification. Ideal for mechanical, automotive and aerospace tools, maker and assembly apps, maintenance and field-service software, and engineering calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is fastener torque; for wire gauge and resistance use a wire-gauge API and for Ohm's law use an electronics API.
