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
