torqueing
Tightening with force
Torqueing is applying rotational force, especially when tightening bolts or fasteners to a specific tension: Make sure you're torqueing the lug nuts in a star pattern.
Mechanics and engineers torque components to precise specifications to ensure proper assembly without over- or under-tightening.
Also spelled torquing.
