This chart is based on standard flange bolting using studs and nuts as opposed to
cap screws. Attaining the minimum torque adequately stretches the bolt, where
exceeding the max. Crushes the gasket. Therefore it is suggested that the bolts are
torqued as close to the minimum as possible.

Tables are based on the use of bolts with a yield strength of 100,000 psi.

Torque to Stress Bolts

The torque required to produce a certain stress in bolting is dependent on several conditions,
including:

 Diameter and number of threads on bolt

 Condition of nut bearing surfaces
 Lubrication of bolt threads and nut bearing surfaces.

The tables below reflect the results of many tests to determine the relation between torque
and bolt stress. Values are based on steel bolts that have been well-lubricated with a heavy
graphite and oil mixture.

A non-lubricated bolt has an efficiency of about 50% of a well-lubricated bolt. Also, different
lubricants produce results that vary from 50% to 100% of the tabulated stress figures.
