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 SAEstands for Society of Automotive Engineers.S/Sstands for Stainless Steel (18-8 refers to 304 stainless steel).
