GENERAL
TORQUE
This chart specifies torque for standard fasteners
with standard I.S.O. pitch threads. Torque
specifications for special components or assem-
blies are included in the applicable sections of
this book. To avoid warpage,
fastener assemblies in a crisscross fashion, in
progressive stages, until full torque is reached.
Unless otherwise specified, torque specifications
call for clean, dry threads. Components should
be at room temperature.
A: Distance across Hats
B: Outside thread diameter
