Tightening torques
The tightening torques are applicable to steel bolts and nuts tight-
ened with a torque wrench under the following conditions:
The values specified in Table 1 are applicable to nut-and-bolt
joints, but can also be used for bolts fitted into tapped holes. How-
ever, in the latter case, the preloading force will be somewhat
lower, depending on its depth of engagement.
When tightening by machine, the torque specified in Table 1
should be reduced by approx. 5%, due to the increased scatter
and to prevent the bolt from being tightened beyond its yield
point.
