Torque Chart
This table provides an estimate of torque required to induce corresponding clamp load in a bolt
for non-critical, plated bolt, nut and washer assemblies (not tapped holes). Consult a qualified
Maintenance engineer for critical applications since many variables
Products, affect final assembly torque.

*Above values are for zinc plated nut and bolt assemblies. Increase torque by 33% if using unplated
(dry, unlubricated) nut and bolt assemblies. Decrease torque by 45% if using lubricants (oil, grease,
or antisieze lubricants).
