6.13.2 Tightening torques and initial stressing forces
The tightening torques apply to friction coefficients of µ
total
= 0.14.
The friction coefficient µ
total
= 0.14 applies here to lightly oiled steel bolts, black-annealed or phosphatised
and dry, cut counter threads in steel or cast iron. Lubricants which alter the friction coefficient are not
permitted and might overload the screw connection.

10.9; 12.9 with a common friction coefficient of μ

= 0.14
