STANDARD TORQUE DATA FOR NUTS AND BOLTS
The following recommended torque data is for use as a general guideline.
NOTE: Torque specifications on a drawing override torque values in the table below.
Recommended torque, in foot pounds, for all Standard Application nuts and bolts provided:
• All thread surfaces are clean and lubricated with SAE-30 engine oil. (See note.)
• Joints are rigid, that is no gaskets or compressible materials are used.
• When re-using nuts or bolts use minimum torque values.
NOTE: Multiply the standard torque by:
• .65 when finished jam nuts are used.
• .70 when Molykote, white lead or similar mixtures are use as lubricants.
• .75 when parkerized bolts or nuts are used.
• .85 when cadmium plated bolts or nuts and zinc bolts w/waxed zinc nuts are used.
• .90 when hardened surfaces are used under the nut or bolt head.
