RECOMMENDED FASTENER TORQUE
The general-purpose torque shown in the chart applies to SAE Grade 5 bolts, studs and standard steel full, thick and
high nuts.
Higher or lower torques for special applications will be specified such as the use of spanner nuts, nuts on shaft ends,
jam nuts and where distortion of parts or gaskets is critical.
Lubricated torque values based on use of SAE 30W engine oil applied to threads and face of bolt or nut.
Avoid using thread lubricants as the applied torque may vary by 10-40% depending upon product used.
To convert lb.-ft. to kg-m, multiply lb.-ft. value by 0.1383.
