A5-2 Standard Torque Charts and Conversion Tables 11/05 A05001
STANDARD ASSEMBLY TORQUES
For 12-Point, Grade 9 Capscrews (SAE)
The following specifications apply to required assembly
torques for all 12-point, grade 9 (170,000 psi minimum
tensile) capscrews.
• Capscrew threads and seats shall be lubricated
when assembled.
NOTE: Unless the instructions specifically recommend
otherwise, these standard torque values are to be used
with simple lithium base chassis grease (multi-purpose
EP NLGI) or a rust preventive grease (see list, this
page) on the threads.
• Torques are calculated to give a clamping force of
approximately 75% of proof load.
• The maximum torque tolerance shall be ±10% of
the torque value shown.
STANDARD ASSEMBLY TORQUES
For Class 10.9 Capscrews & Class 10 Nuts
The following specifications apply to required assembly
torques for all metric Class 10.9 finished hexagon head
capscrews and Class 10 nuts.
• Capscrew threads and seats shall not be lubricated
when assembled. These specifications are based
on all capscrews, nuts, and hardened washers
being phosphate and oil coated.
NOTE: If zinc-plated hardware is used, each piece
must be lubricated with simple lithium base chassis
grease (multi-purpose EP NLGI) or a rust preventive
grease (see list, this page) to achieve the same
clamping forces provided below.
• Torques are calculated to give a clamping force of
approximately 75% of proof load.
• The maximum torque tolerance shall be within
±10% of the torque value shown.
