Torqueing of bolts....any bolts I note with interest a lot of posts on both this site and others, where kind people mention torque settings for bolts...but we have to ask outselves a couple of things... 1. Is this value for dry, unlubricated bolts? 2. What happens when we torque a bolt...what does it do to the bolt ? 3. Stainless bolts...can we torque them to the same value as steel ones ? 4. what if we replace a fastener with a different grade ? 5. when we use a torque wrench...where do you hold it to achieve the correct setting ? answers please from the pupils, then Ill give the correct ones |
