NOTES:
The above recommended assembly torques are offered as a guide
only. Torque specifications, especially for critical joints, should
be determined under actual assembly conditions due to the many
variables involved which are difficult to predict and do affect the
torque-tension relationship.
The above recommended clamp loads are based on 75% of the
minimum specified proof loads for each grade and size.

Torques for Grades 5 and 8 were calculated based on
the following relationship:
T = R D P
Where:T = Torque (ft lb)
D = Nominal Diameter (in)
P = Clamp Load (lb)
R = Tightening Coefficient
The value of R is assumed to be equal to .20 for dry, unplated
conditions and equal to .15 for lubricated, including plated,
conditions. Actual values of R can vary between .05 and .35 for
commonly encountered conditions.
SUGGESTED ASSEMBlY TORQUE VAlUES
When using anti-seize, reduce the lubed chart reading by 20% to properly torque.
Always lubricate and use lubed torque values.
