Torque Information

Adjustment of Torque for Tightening Method and Friction Coefficient

Two major points have to be accounted for when installing a fastener.

  • 1. Inaccuracy of torque wrench tightening method can range anywhere from ±17 to ±23%
  • 2. The friction coefficient changes when using lubrication on the thread.

1. Inaccuracy of tightening method

Iso 4762 specification

A torque wrench has a “scatter” (tolerance) of ±17% to ±23%. We must account for this in order not to over-tighten the fastener.

Example:
  • A M30-12.9 fastener has a maximum tightening torque of 2,280 Nm, based on a friction coefficient of 0.125 (zinc plated)
  • Maximum torque: 2,280Nm (= 123%) (or 117%)
  • Mean torque if scatter is +23% = 2,280 / 1.23 = 1,854 Nm
  • Minimum torque if scatter is +23% = 1,854 x 0.77 = 1,428 Nm

Torque should be set to 1,854 Nm (mean torque) on the torque wrench

The accuracy of the tightening method needs to be accounted for, in order to not over-tighten the fastener.

2. Friction coefficient

The surface condition of a fastener may change the torque that can be applied and needs to be accounted for.

Friction coefficients for standard finish fasteners

– dacromet-coated 6-8 μm– dacromet-coated 6-8 μm0.10-0.14
Example:A M30-12.9 fastener using MoS2 paste.
  • A M30-12.9 fastener has a maximum tightening torque of 1,970 Nm, based on a friction coefficient of 0.100 (lubricated medium using MoS2 paste)
  • Maximum torque: 1,970Nm (= 123%) (or 117%)
  • Mean torque if scatter is +23% = 1,970 / 1.23 = 1,602 Nm
  • Minimum torque if scatter is +23% = 1,602 x 0.77 = 1,234 Nm

Torque should be set to 1,602 Nm (mean torque) on the torque wrench

The accuracy of the tightening method, as well as the change in friction, needs to be accounted for in order not to over-tighten the fastener.

General Torque Figures

A torque value will be influenced by the fastening methods and tools used. The only way to determine an exact torque value is by actual application. The following figures are general guidelines only.
