Abbreviation for Torque

[TexasPettey]

I'm looking for a good abbreviation for Torque for a vanity license plate. I have thought of three so far, but they aren't easy to figure out. Anyone have suggestions?

TQ
TRQ
TRK

 

[got one]

trq is good...

 

[dave6666]

From a wrench head... TQ and TRQ are formal. I would get them immediately. I use TRK as short for truck all the time on notes.

TQ is also a common abreviation for the Carter ThermoQuad carburetor.

TRQ is the best of the three.

 

[GR8_ASP]

Tq is what is normal in engineering

 

[hou99gts]

How about "lb-ft" (sorry, I am an engineer also)...

I'd say "N-m", but your car is not metric.... LOL!

 

[mike & juli]

TQ is used most widely, at least that's what we SEE most often. Let us know what you decide for the plate!! PICS!!~~~juli

 

[XS TORQ]

My plate is XS TORQ (although people ask what XS TORO means sometimes) xtra small bull?

THAT was funny!! Nice plate!!~~~juli

Thanks. I tried out TRQ on a couple of folks, and they didn't get the abbreviation. They were even gearheads. I was surprised. I thought it was pretty obvious.

Nm - of course

Wij houden van dat hier in de VSA niet!

I already tried that one above....

Very impressive guys!!! What is Nm? German for tq? ~juli

Newton meter. Metric. Rhymes with HANS doesn't it?

Mr. Newton! You don´t remember...?
The man with the apple ... falling ...

Where have you been in the physics lessons?


When Newton saw an apple fall, he found
In that slight startle from his contemplation --
'Tis said (for I'll not answer above ground
For any sage's creed or calculation) --
A mode of proving that the earth turn'd round
In a most natural whirl, called "gravitation;"
And this is the sole mortal who could grapple,
Since Adam, with a fall or with an apple.





Even the U.S. joined the international agreement in 1972 to use SI units only in the future...


Nm = Newton meter (abbrev. for the torque in the one and only SI unit)

"Scientifically, it provides ease when dealing with very large and small quantities because it lines up so well with the decimal numeral system."




P.S.: I am an engineer too

Oh, and one for the rednecks - easier to read!

Because HANS,

Well, ya know, round these parts when someone bops on up with a box of them there Fig Newton Meters, we shoot 'em. Damn Commies. If it ain't a 'Nilla Wafer with some puddin' we shoot your butt to the next county.

I know this will probably exile me from the community, but I can't stand vanity license plates. 99.99% (no hyperbole) of them might as well say MEGAGAY because that's exactly what they are.

Wowwww...no, I never expected to get a physics lesson from an engineer no less!!! TOTALLY impressed--thank you for the knowledge...I didn't connect the Nm for tq and would never have until you explained it so well!!! THANK YOU!~! ~juli

I guess I just don't understand why you felt the need to express this? Could you not have kept that opinion to yourself, especially since you feel you would be exiled (NOOO you would not, you ARE entitled to opinions!!)...but that doesn't smack of good-will towards others who are talking about what they want on their plates...it makes one wonder why you'd possibly write that? ~juli

Hey Dave--PM sent to ya!!! All in good fun....! ~juli/JEWELS to Dave....
(Love that humor of yours, dude!!!)
