Torque is an important factor in much of the equipment on a factory floor. Measuring torque is often something that's misunderstood, which can lead to over- under-designing of measurement systems.

Measuring torque, rotational speed, angle of rotation, and the quantities derived from these variables are increasingly critical in the design of new test benches for use in industrial environments.

Units of measurement are tricky. Ideally, the best ones will convey not just a cold tally of some length or velocity or whatever, but also suggest a sort of visceral feel of the concept being measured ...
