7-3-2. Screw diameter and appropriate tightening torque
Generally speaking, the appropriate tightening torque for a screw can be determined by the strength grade of the
screw and the material tightened. Tables 1 and 2, and Fig. 4 below list data relative to the strength grade of
various screws and the appropriate tightening torque. For further reference, appropriate tightening torque is
calculated with the following formula. Study and use this formula for accurate selection of tightening torque.

T: Appropriate tightening torque (kgf

cm)
d: Nominal diameter for the screw (mm)
p: Recommended axial tightening force to be applied to the screw (kgf)
p=rated axial stress (kgf/cm

)
k: Torque coefficient (0.17)
