THE FOLLOWING RULES APPLY TO THE CHART:
1. Consult manufacturers' specific recommendations when available.
2. The chart may be used with coarse and fine thread fasteners lightly lubricated.
3. Increase torque by 20% when multiple tooth (shakeproof) lockwashers are used.
4. The torque values are given in foot-pounds (N·m).
5. Inch-pounds equivalent may be obtained by multiplying by 12
