TIGHTENING TORQUES FOR ISO METRIC THREADS
The tightening torque "Ma" of either a screw or a nut is the moment of a force required to put the screw under a certain initial
tension. The tightening torque value is used to adjust the dynamometric wrench, as well as to prevent the screw from breaking
due to fatigue. The following table shows the tightening torques "Ma" related to the external diameters of screws having metric
threads. These are just indicative values, because the exact values depend on both the friction and the machining conditions of
the screw supporting surfaces.
NOTE!
This table refers to a slowly applied tightening and with dynamometric cables.
