IBM Infoprint 6500-v05 - H Torque Table

H Torque Table
The table below establishes the torque requirements for routine installation of threaded fasteners. These requirements apply to
fasteners made of steel, at a minimum engagement of 3.5 threads, including chamfer and countersink. For the most accurate
torquing, apply anti-seize compound to fastener threads before you torque the fastener.
Fastener sizes are listed as
Numbered Size - Threads Per Inch . (For example, 2-56 means “a No. 2 screw with 56 threads per
inch.”)
