TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
The following tables list torque values for standard
hardware. This is a guide for average application
involving typical stresses and machined surfaces.
Values are based upon physical limitations of clean,
plated and lubricated hardware. Under more extreme
conditions, individual torque value should be followed.
Conversion formulas are provided in the adjacent table:
Conversion Formula
ft-lb to N•m [ft-lb]*1.3558 = [N•m)
ft-lb to in-lb [ft-lb]*12 = [in-lb]
N•m to in-lb [N•m]*8.8508 = [in-lb]
