In some cases it may be desirable to know the total clamping force obtained for a given torque. Values are approximate. SAE 30 engine oil was
used as lubricant. Use of high stress lube may increase value 20% or more. Highest values for a given size may only be obtained with heat
treated bolts having minimum tensile strengths of 150,000 P.S.I. or more.
* Stress area is calculated as the area of the circle whose diameter is the mean between the root and pitch diameters. This
closely approximates the actual stress condition. Maximum theoretical clamping force cannot be obtained from threaded
fasteners. Additional stresses to the fastener are caused by the torsional forces of tightening.
