Thank you for the reading material!
I specifically like the chart for typical targeted preloads, and the explanation of the 30 or 40 variables that can effect the friction seen in a threaded fastener. The chart helps me...
From an engineering perspective, is there a general margin of error that is taken in to consideration when determining a published torque specification, that is not printed? + or - 15% for example? I see some torque specifications printed that way, 100ft lbs + or - 15 ftlbs for example.
Thanks for the replies.
I am having a difficult time adjusting to using the torque wrenches, due to the sometimes extra leverage and bulkiness of the handles. They take away the sense of feel I have been accustomed to, so I am trying to duplicate exactly what the service information provides...
Hello,
This is my first post, and I hope I posted in the correct forum.
My question pertains to the Automotive field.
My understanding is that when torque is applied to a dry bolt, that the majority of the torque is applied to friction at the threads and the nut or bolt face areas. The...
