Torque can also be measured in degrees.

Some bolts are torqued to a primary starting spot either in foot pounds - or slip capture (feeling a calibration washer's ability to be spun by hand) - then torqued to a measured turn of the bolt. Testing showed this is a more accurate method than ordinary torque wrenches.
I built parts for the service tool (Kent-Moore) for torqing the head bolts on GM's quad four engine.
I have one in my tool box.
