Ok I need to figure out how many psi 50 ft lbs is
acording to google
ft lbs * 12^2 = psi
so
ft lbs * 144 =psi
50 ft lbs *144= 7200 psi
Is this correct, it is the rating on a QEV?

this is what I always use- http://www.digitaldutch.com/unitconverter/

I don't know what a QEV's rating is.

I am sorry let me clarify. They claim the ration is 50 ft lbs.
I was wondering if my calculations are correct and if the conversion factor is right.
the link dose not have ft lbs to psi

What the holy hell monkey of doom does 50 foot pounds of force have to do with a QEV pressure rating?

It's comparable to saying it has a rating of 67.79 joules... ???

Is this on a website or somewhere interweb visible?

The closest likely symbol is lbf/in2 which is itself just psi.

no, I found a QEV used in the newspaper and the guy said it had a 50 ft lb rateing and I also thought it was strange. this is what the guy told me.
it has a 3/4 in inilet an out let
the pressure rating is 50 ft. lbs.

he could be mistaken, but I found it unlikely that the QEV only had a rating of 50 psi, yet I doubt it can handle 7200 psi. If any body could help be explaining this to me I would much appreaciate it.

Maybe he mixed it up with pounds per square inch? And instead thought of pounds per square...foot :lol:

Coupled with my previous theory, maybe there was a misprint and he also meant 150? :roll: :)
