Overview

Engineering reference data for Us Bolts Torques in mechanics.

Key Formulas

Newton's Second Law

F=maF = ma

Force = mass × acceleration.

Work

W=FdcosθW = Fd\cos\theta

Work = force × displacement × cos(angle).

Kinetic Energy

Ek=12mv2E_k = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Energy of motion.

Potential Energy

Ep=mghE_p = mgh

Gravitational potential energy.

Variables

FF Force N
mm Mass kg
aa Acceleration m/s²
vv Velocity m/s

Tightening Torques for US Bolts (Imperial)

Important Notes:

  • Values in the table are for slightly lubricated bolts.
  • For dry bolts, increase the torque values by approximately 30%.
  • Bolt size conversion: 1 inch = 25.4 mm
  • SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers.
  • S/S stands for Stainless Steel (18-8 refers to 304 stainless steel).
