TORQUE TIGHTENING CHART 2
METRIC FASTENER (ISO) TORQUE CHART
Note : Use these torques, unless special torques are specified. Values are for course thread fasteners, plated or unplated as received
from supplier. Fasteners can be dry or lubricated with normal engine oil. Values do not apply if graphite, moly-disulphide or other
extreme pressure lubricant is used.

Because of the low ductility of
these fasteners, the torque
range is to be determined
individually for each
application. As a general rule,
the torque ranges specified
for grade 10.9 fasteners can
be used satisfactorily on 12.9
fasteners.
* M14 is not a preferred size.
Note 1: Bolt head identification marks as per grade. Manufacturing marks will vary. *Thick nuts must be used with Grade 8 bolts.
