I'm slightly confused by this. Are you talking about sticking a pipe onto a torque wrench to get extra leverage? In my mind, the torque wrench readings will be correct.

Or

Are you talking about using some sort of extension, or lever on the "socket" side of the torque wrench? I think the equation above is if your changing the actual lever arm where the socket sits on.
